REPORT
OF THE
Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries
To the Honourable J. D. Hazen,
Minister of Marine and Fisheries.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit herewith my report for the fiscal j^ear
ending March 31, 1916.
It has been vay aim in the preparation of this report to include such informa-
tion respecting the various services' entrusted to the care of the department as
may prove not onlj' useful and instructive, but generally interesting. As the
result of conditions that have developed during the twenty months that the war
has already continued, the question of shipping has become of far-reaching
importance. Therefore it is that particular pains have been taken to assemble
as concisely as possible available statistics in reference to the subject.
On March 31, 1916, the total number of vessels on the Canadian register
was 8,631, measuring 1,215,021 gross tons.
In former yeai's it was the custom to value the shipping on the Canadian
register at .S30 per net ton. This figure was of course an arbitrary one, but
having regard to averages it fairlj' approximated real values. At the present
time values are abnormal and actual sales are common at prices ranging from
$75 per ton, deadweight capacity, to upwards of $100. Freight rates, governed
as they always have been by the law of supply and demand, have enormously
increased during the past year. The very large number of British registered vessels
withdrawn from the commercial trades since the commencement of the war, to
engage in the transport of troops and munitions, accounts almost altogether
for the abnormal increase in freight rates and the value of ships.
Throughout the year there has been much discussion in the press and by
various public bodies as to the expediency of taking such ships as would insure
the early development of a purely Canadiaii Mercantile Marine, not only for
our inland and coasting trade, but for foreign trade as well. In the development
of any scheme that may be adopted for this purpose it is to be hoped that, in so
far at least as foreign trade is concerned, it will be taken for granted that the day
of the small carrier has gone by.
It will be generally admitted that, conditions being normal, the con-
.struction of ships for the foreign trade of a gross tonnage of less than 3,000 tons
should be discouraged. In the prosecution of that trade it will be conceded that
the most economical and, therefore, the most efficient vessel is one whose
carrying capacity ranges from 7,000 tons to 10,000 tons. From Lloyds' register

While on the subject of aiding the shipbuilding industry, and thus helping
to establish a Canadian Mercantile Marine, it may be of interest to note what
has been done in the same direction by other countries.
For the compilation of the statement which follows, outlining the methods
adopted by various countries for the encouragement of shipbuilding, the depart-
ment is indebted to Mr. Thomas Robb, of Montreal, manager and secretary of
the Shipping Federation of Canada: —
REPORTS ON BOUNTIES AND SUBSIDIES IN RESPECT OF SHIP-
BUILDING IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES.
Argentine Republic.
No direct bounties have as yet been granted, but the coasting trade all
towing, lighterage and salvage operations are reserved to Argentine vessels.
In order for a vessel to be considered an Argentine vessel, she must fly the
heport of tee deputy minister 3
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
Argentine flag and be registered in the republic; (b) to have an Argentine
proprietary title inscribed in the proper register; (c) to be commanded by a
master who is either a natural-born or naturalized subject, and (d) to be manned'
by a crew of whom at least one-third (in the case of vessels of over 200 tons bur-
den) are Argentine citizens.
AUSTKIA-HUNGARY.
Shipbuilding subsidies are granted when at least 50 per cent of home-
produced material is ordered — the amounts are: —
(1) In the case of steamships of iron and steel (a) for the hull, 40 kronen
($8.10) for every gross ton; (b) for new ship-engines, new boilers, new pipes,
or tubes and supplementaiy engines of every kind, 8 kronen ($1.62) for every
100 kilos.
(2) In case of sailing ship of iron and steel, for the hull, when more than half
the material employed is of home production, the bounty is increased by 1 per
cent of its amount for every 1 per cent of such material in excess of 50 per cent.
(3) In the case of sailing ships of wood or mixed construction, for the hull,
10 kronen ($2.02) for every ton gross.
The construction subsidy is allowed also, under certain conditions, when less
than 50 per cent of home material is used, but in this case the bounty is diminished
by }/2 per cent of its amount for every 1 per cent under 50 per cent.
Belgium.
Free entry of shipbuilding materials. In virtue of the Budget Law of
December 29, 1899, materials (not otherwise duty free.) to be used for the con-
struction, equipment, fitting out or furnishing of vessels and boats, are exempted
from duty, on importation into Belgium.
Brazil.
A government premium of 50 milreis ($16.22) is offered per ton for steam
vessels of over 80 tons built in Brazil, but has never been earned.
Denmark.
As regards shipbuilding, the tariff law of 1908 provides for the refund of
customs duties on iinported materials used for the construction of new ships,
subject to the limitation that the refund must not exceed in amount 2 per cent
of the contract sale price.
France.
By the law enacted in 1906 the construction bounty for steamships was
fixed at a maximum of 172 francs 50 centimes ($33.58), to cover both hull and
machinery, and to diminish gradually for ten years. The amount was to be
divided as follows: —
For hulls 145 francs ($28.22) per ton, with an annual decrease of
4| francs ($0.87) per ton for ten years; and for machinery, 27 francs 50
21-U
4 MARINE AyO FISHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
centimes per 100 kilos ($2.71) per cwt., with an annual decrease of 75
centimes per 100 kilps (S0.08) per cwt. for ten years.
The construction bounty for sailing ships of 150 tons and over, was fixed at
40 francs ($7.78) per ton, and of less than 150 tons at 30 francs per ton (S5.84).
Only seven-tenths of the bounties are payable in respect of vessels built
in foreign ports, the remaining three-tenths are payable in addition, to vessels
sailing under the French flag, two-tenths one year after registration and the
remaining one-tenth at the end of the second year.
So long as the law of 1902 is in force, these bounties may not be paid in
respect of more than 50,000 tons of steam vessels, and 15,000 tons of sailing
vessels per annum.
Further, the law of 1906 provided for equipment bounties to be accorded to
steamships on the French register (wherever built), at the rate of 4 centimes
(§0.01 per ton, up to 3,000 tons, and 3 centimes ($0,006 per ton, from 3,000 to
6,000 tons. For sailing vessels the rates are: Up to 500 tons, 3 centimes ($0,006)
per ton; 500 to 1,000 tons, 2 centimes ($0,004); above 1,000 tons, 1 centime.
These equipment bounties are subject to certain conditions as to average daily
distance traversed, to quantitj- of cargo carried, the average speed (the minimum
being 9 knots per hour). This equipment bounty is payaljle in respect of vessels
abroad, if not less than two years old, when transferred to the French flag.
Vessels built for subsidized mail services are entitled only to a building
bount}'^ of 65 francs ($12.65) per ton for hulls and 15 francs per 100 kilos ($1.46)
per ton for machinerj-.
The law is to be in force for 12 years.
German Empire.
Construction bounties: — These bounties do not take the form of a pre-
mium on the construction of ships, but consist of: —
(1) Special customs facilities for goods destined for use ia shipbuilding
yards.
(2) Preferential railwaj^ rates.
(1) Subsection 12 of section 6 of the German Customs tariff law of the 25th
December, 1902, exempts from payment of customs duty materials used for
construction, repairing or fitting out seagoing or river vessels, except cabin and
kitchen furniture. Pleasure boats for rivers and lakes are excluded from the
enjoyment of these privileges.
In accordance with the regulations issued in accordance with Bundesrath
to give effect to the foregoing provision of the law, the exemption from duty
extends to raw materials, as well as to partly manufactured and whollj* manu-
factured articles which are used for the construction (original construction or
alteration), the repair or the eq_uipment of seagoing vessels (defined as vessels
provided with a fixed seaworthy deck entirely or chiefly destined for traffic on
the sea, or its bays, harbours and shallows) as also of lake and river vessels to be
used commerciall}' for passenger traffic, for the convej-ance of goods, for the in-
REPORT OF 77/7? DEPUTY MINISTER 5
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
dustrial pursuit of fishing, tugging and dredging, for river -works, docks and
dock and inspection services, and other public services, also all the auxiliary
boats of all the foregoing lake and river craft, Init not floating dredges even if they
be provided with means of self-propulsion.
Goods for fitting out cabins and kitchens, including even articles which are
to be permanently fixed to the body of the vessel, as also articles intended to be
used in the manufacture of such goods, are not accorded exemption from duty.
The articles of ships equipment and the materials for shipbuilding, as in
respect of which freedom from duty may be claimed, are specified in lists annexed
to the regulations, which lists may be supplemented as occasion requires, by
decision of the Bundesrath. It is laid down that all articles destined for the
artillery and armament of ships of the Imperial navy are to be regarded as
articles of equipment whilst in the case of ships of war building in Germany for
foreign countries the chief finance officials will decide in every case as to the
application of this rule.
The regulations further deal fully with the system of bookkeeping and inspec-
tion by which the customs officials are to assume that all the materials and goods
thus admitted duty free are actually used for the purpose indicated :
(2) Preferential railway rates are in force on German state railways for
certain raw materials and partly manufactured articles used for the construction
of German shipping. The railway rates of October, 1905, allowed a preference
rate of 1.7 pfennig ($0,004), plus 12 pfennig ($0,028), booking free per ton
per kilometre, in lieu of the ordinary rate 4 . 5 pfennig ($0.01) to 3.5 pfennig
($0,008), plus 12 pfennig ($0,028) on the materials in question "in order to
assist German iron industry and shipbuilding." The same preferential rate also
applies to the following list of articles of the "special tariff for iron and steel":
rivets, nails, screws, screw and rivet plates, nuts, wire, files, ships' chains,
ships' frames, anchors, and all other articles contained in tariff III used in ship-
building.
Italy.
Provision is made by a law which came into operation in July, 1911, for
bounties in the form of navigation premiums, construction and repair bounties,
and remissions of customs duties, during a period of 15 years. The following
are the main provisions of the law: —
The construction bounties are: —
On merchant vessels dredgers, and bridged tugs, with iron and steel hulls,
55 lire ($10.70), 50 lire ($9.73), and 45 lire ($8.75) per gross ton, if launched
within 5, 10, 15 years, respectively, from the date of promulgation of the law.
On wooden vessels, 10 lire ($1.94) per gross ton.
For steam motors and auxiliary apparatus forming an integral part
thereof, 15 lire ($2.92) per indicated horse-power.
For turbine machinery, 17 lire ($3.30) per shaft.
For boilers and auxiliary apparatus considered as accessories thereof,
12 lire ($2.31), 220.5 lbs.
6 MARINE AND FISHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
For other auxiliary apparatus, 13.5 lire ($2.61) per 220.5 lbs.
For motor apparatus, 27 lire ($5.24) per horse-power on shaft.
The law provides that the bounties at the above rates may not be paid in
any one year in respect of more than 40,000 gross tons in the case of steamships,
and 1,600 gross tons in the case of sailing vessels of iron and steel; 8,000 tons in
the case of wooden saihng vessels, 40,000 indicated horse-power, in the case of
engines, 2,500 tons of boilers; and 800 tons of auxiliary apparatus. The repair
bounties are fixed at a maximum of $42,836.08 per annum.
Remission of Customs duties: — The law further provides that ship
constructors in Italy may import free of dutj-- one-quarter of the metallic
material necessary for the construction of the hulls of merchant ships, dredgers
and bridged tugs built at the order of Italians and intended for sea, lake,
lagoon or river use and provided that this quarter does not exceed 120 kilo-
grams per ton of the gross tonnage. A quarter of the metallic materials
necessary for the transformation of vessels, resulting in an increase of the gross
tonnage, may also be imported duty free, provided that such quarter does not
-exceed 120 kilogrammes for each ton added to the vessel.
The law also allows tempoi'ary duty free admission in I'espect of (a) foreign
metallic materials employed in thejjonstruction of the hulls, machinery boilers
and auxiliary apparatus of merchant vessels ordered by foreigners, or in the con-
struction of iron and steel craft destined for exportation, or of war or other vessels
ordered by foreign governments from Italian shipyards; (b) articles of equipment
or armament for the above-mentioned vessels; (c) their machinery and boilers
or parts thereof, and (d) foreign metallic materials, machinery and boilers, com-
plete, or separate parts thereof, to be employed in the repair or transformation
in Italy, of war or other vessels belonging to foreign governments.
Italian shipbuilders may claim this privilege of temporarj^ admission in
respect of materials for vessels ordered by Italians if they renounce the other
customs and construction bounties accorded bj^ the law.
The quantities in respect of which the remission of customs duties may be
made in any one j'ear ai'e limited by the law, and the maximum annual total of
construction bounties (including the loss of customs revenue other than by
temporarj^ admission) is fixed at $934,270.40. This with the navigation pre-
miums, repair bounties, and a small sum for the expenses of administering the
law, make a total authorized expenditure of $1,206,916.80.
Japan.
The bounty payable on tonnage constructed locally is regulated by the
provisions of the law for the encouragement of shipbuilding which came into
force on January 1, 1910.
By the provisions of this law, onh^ those ships are eligible to receive a
bounty which are constructed by Japanese subjects, or by firms which have
only Japanese subjects as members or shareholders.
Vessels receiving bounties must be built of steel and be of 1,000 tons or
more, gross tonnage. Thcj^ must be constructed under supervision in accordance
with the shipbuilding regulations drawn up by the Minister of Communications.

If the engines arc built with the vessel, or provided the sanction of the
Minister of Communications has been obtained before hand — at any other
works in Japan, a further bounty of yen 5.00 per actual horse-power is to be
granted.
Except in accordance with regulations laid down by the Minister of Communi-
cations, foreign manufactured articles may not be used for the hull, engines,
or equipment of vessels which are to receive shipbuilding encouragement bounties.
In constructing the hull or machinery for a vessel which is to receive the
subsidy, foreign made materials may not be used except for the following parts : —

Norway.
The shipbuilding bounties which are granted in respect of tonnage constructed
in Norway on Norwegian or foreign account, are intended to cover only the
amount of customs duty on imported materials used in the construction of
vessels, and are fixed by customs law at the following rates.
(a) For steamships with main engines and boilers fitted in Norwegian
workshops, of iron or steel, 2s. 3d. (54c.) per gross register ton; of wood.
Is. 8d. per gross register ton.
(b) For steamships, without main engines and boilers, but otherwise
completely fitted, and for sailing vessels, of iron and steel, Is. 8d. (40c.)
per gross register ton, of wood. Is. Ud. (26c) per gross register ton.
Rumania.
^Materials for shipbuilding are admitted free of customs duty.
Russia.
The estimates of the department' of mercantile marine included for 1909
and subsequent years a sum of $51,428.52 "Measures for the encouragement of
shipbuilding." Formerly no bounties on tonnage whether constructed locallj''
or purchased abroad, had been granted to Russian shipping. In June, 1912,
a special law was enacted for the granting of bounties for the construction and
repair of mercantile vessels. The bounties are granted to shipbuilding firms
situated within the Russian Empire (but not in England or areas in which there
is duty-free importation of materials and machinery for the construction and
equipment of vessels) for every merchant vessel constructed of metal and intended
for use in foreign waters or on the Danube and tributaries, upon registry of such
a vessel at a Russian port, and provided that it was laid down subsequent to the
promulgation of the law. The following table shows the rates of bounty.

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
Furjiher bounties at the rate of £3 14s. Od. per indicated horsepower
are to be granted in respect of the installation of new main or auxiliary machinery
in the vessels for which construction bounties are accorded.
In the case of repairs the bounties to be paid are for new boilers, etc., 3s. 2d.
per 36 lbs. of metal used; for new main or auxiliary machinery lis. 7d. per 30 lbs.
After 10 years have lapsed from the promulgation of the law, all the above-
mentioned bounties are to be reduced by 6 per cent annually.
Regulations issued under this law provide that the use of foreign materials
in the construction of the hull or machinery of vessels does not deprive the builders
of their claim to the bounties; but the special bounties for new machinery or
auxiliary engines are to be granted only, if the machinery be of Russian manu-
facture, though the use of such as are not manufactured in Russia (and are so
specified in a list published by the Ministry of Commerce) is permitted.
It is understood that the sum of £73,889 is to be included in the 1913 budget
for the bounties under the provision of this law.
Spain.
Spanish shipbuilders pay the full customs duties on material imported, but
receive the following bounties: —
(1) Per ton gross of all wooden ships constructed to navigate without
motive power of their own, 80 pesetas (£3.4.0.).
(2) Per ton gross of wooden ships constructed to navigate with their
own power, 100 pesetas (£3.19.3f).
(3) Per gross ton of iron or steel ships without motive power (dredges,
.floating cranes, hoppers, etc.) 120 pesetas (£4- 16-0).
(4) Per ton gross of iron or steel cargo boats, 160 pesetas ((£6.8.0.). The
same bounty is paid on the construction of iron or steel fishing boats.
(5) Per ton gross of iron or steel vessels constructed to carry both cargo
and passengers, 170 pesetas (£7.16.0.).
(6) Per gross ton of iron or steel vessels constructed for passenger traffic
185 pesetas (£7.8.0.). An additional 10 per cent is paid on every knot
in excess of 14 attained, in trials undergone by the vessel when carrying
half her maximum cargo.
The above scales of bounties have been established in 1909; the following
year was the first in which payments were made to shipbuilders. They amounted
on that year to a total of 738,432 pesetas (£29,537) =$143,746.73.
Sweden.
Materials required for use in Swedish shipbuilding yards for the construction
or repair of ships of over 40 tons for use in the Swedish Mercantile Marine, or of
ships under 40 tons for immediate sale abroad, may be admitted free of customs
duty.
Uruguay .
Under a law of 1905, which was to be in force for 25 years, shipbuilding
yards and workshops, shipways and drydocks may import free of customs
duties, all materials requisite for their erection, equipment or working.

By section 19 of the United States Tariff Act of 1909, all materials of foreign
origin intended for the construction of vessels in the United States may be import-
ed free of customs duty. But vessels which have so benefited in construction,
may not engage in the General Coastwise trade for six months in each year,
though they may engage in the trade between Atlantic and Pacific ports of the
United States.
SHIPPING DESTROYED SINCE THE OUTBREAK OF WAR.
Statistics dealing with the matter of shipping during the year just ended
would be altogether incomplete without a reference to the number of vessels
lost and destroyed as the result of coming in contact with mines or by enemy
submarines.

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 11
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
From the foregoing it is observed that the loss to British shipping is less
than 4 per cent of the total number of vessels under the British flag and slightly
over 6 per cent of their total tonnage. The construction of new vessels in Great
Britain and France during the period since the war began reveals the comfort-
ing fact that war losses have been virtually made good.
During the year 1915, Great Britain added 88 steam vessesl of a tonnage of
344,000 tons to her register. In the same period Russia and Italy show an
increase while France was short only 12,500 tons. While the losses have been
great, it would be incorrect to ascribe the shortage of tonnage to the action of
enemy mines and submarines. Rather is it due to the very great requirements
of the Naval and Military forces. Less than one month ago, it was estimated
that no fewer than 3,300 merchant vessels were thus engaged.
LICENSING OF SHIPS.
In order to better conserve and control available ships, the Board of Trade
as far back as December 1, 1915, took the necessary steps to provide by Order
in Council, that no British registered steamers of upwards of 500 gross tons
should engage in the carrying of cargo from one foreign port to' another foreign
port unless the owners or charterers of such vessel should be granted a license
to so trade.
The Order in Council alluded to authorized and directed the President of
the Board of Trade to appoint persons to carry out and give effect to the provisions
of the Order and to grant licenses when and where desirable. The said Order in
Council was supplemented on the 15th February last by a further Order in Council
prohibiting as from the first day of March last, all British registered steamers in
excess of 500 gross tons, except those engaged in the coasting trade of Great
Britain, from proceeding on any voyage without first obtaining a license.
There were at that time on the Canadian register upwards of 300 steamers
the gross tonnage of each exceeding 500 tons. These or any number of them,
were free to engage without interference in any trade between one foreign port
and another foreign port, or between any foreign port and any port in Canada and
vice versa. Having regard to the conditions then and now existing, it was con-
sidered undesirable that Canadian registered vessels of upwards of 500 gross
tons should be permitted to engage in any foreign trade without the knowledge
or consent of the government. It was therefore provided by Order in Council
of the 11th March, 1916, that as from the first day of April, 1916, all Canadian
registered steamers whose gross tonnage exceeds 500 tons be prohibited from
proceeding on any voyage excepting voyages from a port in Canada to another
port in Canada and from a port in Canada to a port in the United States and
vice versa, unless a license to do so has been granted to, or in favour of the owners
or charterers of such steamships.
By the terms of the Order in Council referred to, the Minister of Marine and
Fisheries was authorized and directed to appoint a committee with power to
issue licenses. The Minister in accordance with this authorization and direction,
appointed the Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries, the Deputy Minister
12 MARINE AyDFIl^RERIES

of the Naval Service, the Commissioner of Customs and the Deputy Minister
of Trade and Commerce a Committee to carry out the purposes of the Order in
Council.
VESSELS TRANSFERRED FROM CANADIAN REGISTRY DURING
THE YEAR.
The total tonnage transferred from the Canadian Register during the
twelve months ending March 31, 1916, was 25,834. The number of vessels
representing the aggregate tonnage was 42. Fifteen vessels of an aggregate
tonnage of 4,780 gross tons were transferred to foreign registers — fourteen to
the United States and one to Russia. Twenty-seven vessels representing 20,964
gross tons were transferred to British registrj^ outside of Canada as follows : —
United Kingdom 4 8,069 gross tons.
Newfoundland 12 4,338 "
Barbadoes 9 2,845 "
New Zealand 1 1,496
Shanghai 1 4,216
It will be observed that the transfers of Newfoundland and Barbadoes
registers constitute the principal changes during the year. It is generally under-
stood that a large proportion of these transfers was made with the sole purpose
in view of securing immunity from some of the provisions of the Canada Shipping
Act, Chapter 113, R.S.C. Section 95 of said Act provides that no ship registered
in Canada over one hundred tons shall go to sea from anj' port or place in Canada
on any voyage not being a coasting voyage, unless the master and first mate or
Onlj' mate thereof, possesses valid certificates. And section 96 requires that no
sailing ship registered in Canada over one hundred tons, and no steamship
registered in Canada, shall go from any port or place in Canada on am- coasting
voyage or be licensed or allowed to ply on any Canadian water unless the master
thereof possesses a valid certificate. Section 5 of Chapter 65 of the Acts of 1908
amends the above requirement to the extent that sailing vessels under one
hundred and fifty tons do not require to carry a certificated master.
In Newfoundland and Barbadoes there is no legislation of the nature
referred to, with the result that vessels registered there may engage in trade
from any Canadian port without being obliged to secure the services of certi-
ficated masters and mates. It does not appear reasonable that vessels on the
Canadian register and their owners should be thus discriminated against, and it
is submitted that the matter should engage the attention of Parliament at its
next session.
It may be pointed out in further reference to this question that while steam-
ships registered in Canada engaged in foreign, coasting or inland trade are
obliged to carry certificated masters (vide sections 95 and 96, Chapter 113,
R.S.C.) steamships registered in the United Kingdom maj' engage in all these
trades without any obligation to employ certificated masters. Both the Merchant
Shipping Act and the Canada Shipping Act appear to be defective in this respect.
Section 92 of the Merchant Shipping Act, 1894, provides that everj- British
REPORT OF THE DEPVTY MINISTER 13
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
foreign-going ship when going to sea, from any port in the United Kingdom, shall
be provided with officers duly certificated. When, however, that ship reaches a
Canadian port and undertakes to clear for a foreign, coasting or inland voj'age,
it is under no obligation to employ duly certificated officers. In the revision and
consolidation of the Canada Shipping Act undertaken by this Department two
years ago, the result of which is embodied in the Bill entitled "An Act to
Consolidate and Amend the Canada Shipping Act," introduced by the Minister
of Marine and Fisheries during the session of 1914-15, provision was made to
overcome this difficulty and remove what is in reality a discrimination against
steamships on the Canadian register. The past two sessions of Parliament
have been so occupied with matters and measures relating to the war, that the
Government has found it inexpedient to take up consideration of the Bill. Its
importance necessarily involves somewhat lengthy consideration by Parliament,
but it is hoped that during the next session opportunity will be found to fully
deal with it
COASTING VOYAGES.
The fact that the legislation of Barbadoes does not provide that ships
registered in that colony must carry certificated masters and mates, has given
rise to a considerable demand in Canada for the enlargement of the area for
which coasting certificates are issued. So insistent has this demand become that
both during the last and present sessions of Parliament, a Bill was introduced
by Mr. John Sinclair, M.P. for Guysboro, Nova Scotia, making provision
for the extension of the present limits of a coasting voyage from five degrees
north latitude to forty degrees south latitude.
During the parliamentary session of 1898, a Bill was passed extending the
limits of a coasting voyage from Cape Hatteras to the present limit — five
degrees north latitude. The technical officers of the Department at that time
opposed the extension chiefly on the ground that the standard of ciualifications
required for "coasting certificates" was not sufficiently high to insure that
applicants for certificates would have the knowledge requisite for the safe navi-
gation of vessels in the area proposed to be included. Notwithstanding this
opposition, the measure became law.
As regards the measure now before Parliament, the Departmental view
remains the same and the same objections are being urged.
Note. — The Bill referred to has in the meantime been passed by both
Houses of Parliament and is now law. It provides as follows: —
"Section three of chapter sixty-five of the Acts of 1908 is repealed and the
following is substituted therefor: —
"Coasting voyage" means a voyage between any port or place
in Canada, and any other port or place in Canada, or in Newfoundland,
Labrador, or St. Pierre or Miquelon, or any port or place in the Unitecl
States of America or Mexico or Central America or in the West Indies,
or on the eastern coast of South America not further south than forty
degrees south latitude; or on the coast of the Territory of Alaska or of the
western coast of South America not further than forty degrees south latitude.

Ross, Esq., President, Farquhar Robertson, Esq., and Brig-Gen. E. Labelle,
Secretary Treasurer, Major David Seath and Chief Engineer, F. W. Cowie,

REPORT OF THE DEPUTY MINISTER 27
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
The trade conditions in Montreal iiarbour were in many ways similar to
the experience of 1914 owing to the war in Europe. The steamers known as
regular liners before the outbreak of the war, were employed as transports, and
other ships, in many instances, replaced the liners. It was difficult to procure
tramp vessels for carrying grain and other agricultural products.
The harbour was open for navigation on the 11th of April, 1915, when the
Longeuil arrived at_her pier from her winter quarters. The fir.st trans-
atlantic steamer to arrive was the Cascaperfio; Captain Jones her commander
received a token of the event in accordance with the custom of previous years.
The last vessel bound overseas to leave was the Port Dalhmisie. Her
departure occurred on the 11th of December and later than any sea-going
vessel was known to depart.
The effect of requisitioning sea-going vessels by the Admiralty for trans-
portation purposes was more marked in 1915 than in 1914. During the season
of 1914, the sea-going vessels that arrived in the port of Montreal numbered
916, with a tonnage of 2,755,518; in the season of 1915, the number was 815,
and the tonnage 2,261,374.
Notwithstanding the willingness of shipowners to accommodate shippers
by carrying cargo to the full capacity of the different ships, the scarcity of tonnage
very materially interfered with the trade of the port. Large quantities of grain
and other products of the kind, usually shipped from Montreal, were not shipped
to overseas countries from the port, because a sufficient number of vessels
was not available.
The quantity of grain handled in the elevators was 37,064,002 bushels,
about 25,000,000 less than in 1914. The facilities for receiving commodities
and shipping were greater owing to improvements" of the harbour and equipment.
The Head Line Company began a new service between Montreal in the
year 1915, by establishing a line in the transatlantic carrying trade to Avon-
mouth, G.B. The special trade mainly consisted in carrying provisions and
cheese for whiph suitable equipment had been provided.
Shipping of nitrate of soda from Chili, by way of Montreal to United
States western ports, was also, a new feature in the trade of the port. One
transhipment only was necessary in a circuit of 10,500 miles.
Considering the changed conditions, due to the war in Europe, the entire
business of the port was far from discouraging. The arrival of sea-going vessels
in the St. Lawrence from British and other ports, can, in a large measure,
be attributed to the protection of the British navy.
Of the total net tonnage of vessels of all classes arriving in the port of
Montreal, during the season of navigation, the tonnage of the transatlantic
vessels was 1,657,728; from the Maritime Provinces and other seaports, 603,546
tons, and from Inland ports 4-,222,426, total 6,483,700.
Insurance rates have for many years been a matter of concern to ship-
owners making Montreal the transatlantic, port on this side of the ocean. The
The Minister of Marine and Fisheries, for the time being, and the harbour
commissioners have repeatedly made representations to underwriters in Great
Britain with a view to having the rates on hulls and cargoes charged vessels
28 MARIXE AXD FISHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
using the St. Lawrence route reduced to approximate the rates prevailing in
voyages to more southerly ports.
Tramp steamers are more especially at a disadvantage when taking the
North Atlantic route. For some reason for which no definite explanation has
been given by underwriters, discriminating rates have been charged upon cai'goes
and hulls to Canadian ports. The harbour commissioners have pointed this
out again in preparing their report and have resolved to make further represent-
ations to the underwriters in Great Britain. All really dangerous factors of
former years have been gradually removed from the St. Lawrence route. The
sheltered nature of the route and the unsurpassed character and complete sj'stem
of aids to navigation have been frequently and explicitly pointed out, but with-
out the desired effect. The large expenditure of about 70,000,000 dollars for
improvements along the route of the gulf and river St. Lawrence and the terminals
has made this waterwaj^ one of great security in navigation. The harbour of
Montreal is equipped with all essentail facilities for handling freight and has
in this respect no equal on this continent. The piers, sheds, grain convej'ers
for simultaneous loading of a number of ships from the grain elevators, and
the elevators themselves, are unique in their perfection.
The ship channel of the St. Lawrence river for 220 miles below Montreal
has been continuouslj^ undergoing improvernent ; lighthouses, lighted buoys,
semaphores, wireless telegraph, signal stations, pilotage arrangements have
been established and are maintained at great cost. A large floating dock capable
of receiving large transatlantic liners, with workshops is conveniently located
at Montreal; another, 160 miles downstream at Quebec is under construction
and at this point also is a capacious wet dock for repairs.
Among the important precautions arising from the changed conditions after
outbreak of the war, was the organization of an effective harbour police force.
The force rendered good service in 1914 and a more perfect system was put
in operation in 1915.
The railway traffic department shows in its statement, a large increase
in the number of cars emploj'ed in conveying freight, compared with anj- previous
year since the estabhshment of the system. In 1907, the number of cars used
was 70,850 and in 1915, 157,480. This increase in the handling was brought
about by the addition of new cars and the employment of the hue in conveying
soldiers being mobilized, from one railway company line to another and to
steamers. The compression of hay in three of the sheds during the winter
months contributed to the traffic, the increase in the conveyance of chilled meat
and other perishable products was a new factor, and the facilities for this kind
of traffic were highlj^ spoken of by shippers and steamship owners and agents.
No delays occurred in the passenger or freight conveyance.
The traffic railroad has now in use 45 miles of track, an increase over last
year of several miles. Local trade, it is expected will increase the traffic between
the railway terminals and the delivery of freight at the steamships.
Still further extension of the tracks is contemplated keeping in view accom-
modation for manufacturing plants now on the harbour front and others
that in future seem more than probable.
REPORT OF THE DEPUTY ^fIXISTER 29
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21 ^
Extensive alterations to locomotives and cars were carried out in the shops
of the railway traffic department and a building was erected for the office of
this department and residence of the yardmaster. The use of electricity in place
of steam for motive power has been the subject of much thought and the conclu-
sion has been formed that electricity has great advantages over steam in many
respects. The smoke nuisance would be abolished, the absence of acid effects
on steel and galvanized plant, instant application of power in the working of
railway and perhaps economy are among the advantages claimed for electricity
An expert has been employed to enter into all details of the subject and report.
Construction of warehouses at convenient points on the harbour property
is a subject that has also received attention recently. High level tracks and
roadways now enable the handling of freight in winter as well as summer along
the harbour front. Goods, therefore, can be stored for future delivery to all
points and enable importers to take advantage of the cheaper rates of freight
which are generally charged in midsummer.
The main object of building such a warehouse is to supply a want frequently
pointed out by importers who have complained of the deficiency. Plans have
been prepared for building an eight story warehouse in a central place on the
harbour front with railway spurs and other connections.
A board of commissioners composed of Mr. Euguene Haskell, W. J. Stewart
and Fredk. AVm. Cowie was as appointed to make an examination and report upon
the effect of certain dredging in the harbour on depth of water and currents.
The engineering department under control of Mr. F. W. Cowie, Chief
Engineer, has carried out the work of improving the harbour and usual main-
tenance and upkeep of the working plant and work previously constructed.
The following outhne shows the progress in certain improvements during
the year.
The improvement and extension of the harbour railway tracks.
The continuance of the construction of the new Victoria pier and Market
basin.
The continuation of work on the bulkhead high level wharves on the river
front eastward of Victoria pier.
General dredging of, widening and deepening of basins and berths.
Dredging of channels for relieving St. Mary current.
Paving and laying railway tracks on wharves.
Completion of work near floating dock basin and site for Canadian Vickers
shipyard and repair works.
Progress made in harbour facilities in connection with hoists, flood gates,
bridges, subways and freight yards.
Additions made to harbour commissioners construction plant.
The rebuilding in concrete of the quay wall opposite shed No. 13.
The construction of a second industrial wharf at Pointe aux Trembles.
The construction of the Longueuil-St. Lambert highway.
The commencement of the construction of the west extension to grain ele-
vator No. 1.
The diversion of the Elgin basin sewer outlet and the mooring of the wharf
office building.
30 MARINE AND FISHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
The operating of the floating derrick, hoists and other appliances.
The elevators have been enlarged from year to year since 1910 and the work
on the west extension of No. 1 it is expected will be completed by the opening
of navigation in 1916. The capacity for storage of elevator No. 1 will be
4,000,000 bushels; of No. 2, 2,622,000 and of the Grand Trunk elevator,
2,150,000 bushels; total capacity, 8,772,000 bushels.
The elevators are constructed of re-inforced concrete on the most modern
plan and with modern equipment. In order to prevent congestion as far as
possible in unloading vessels, special attention has been given to building marine
towers. Two of these are connected with the west extension now under construc-
tion, having a capacity of 20,000 bushels each per hour, making an addition to
the towers and legs already attached to the elevators. Twelve elevator legs
of 15,000 bushels capacity each per hour form part of the equipment of No.
1 elevator, each leg tributary to two garners.
The traffic railway along the harbour front is now 7 miles in length. The
total miles of tracks, including spurs, sidings and yard track is 44, of which 5.5
miles were constructed in 1915.
The accommodation for the river and ferry steamers was largely increased
bj' dredging and construction of quay.
Sevei'al river steamer berths were added to the number in use.
The site of the dry dock, consisting of 30 acres in area, was increased by an
addition of 6 acres of right of way and road tracks. Protection work on the outer
slopes was carried out to a total length of 3,000 feet of rip-rap.
During 1915 great activit}' prevailed in docking and repairing vessels,
showing the importance of the dry dock. About 25 vessels were docked, examined,
cleaned and repaired, from opening to closing of navigation in 1915.
Reconstruction of Jacques Cartier pier and Laurier pier opposite Maison-
neuve formed part of the necessary engineering work; the material used in re-
building consisted of cribwork and concrete.
During the j^ear the new tug David Seath was added to the harbour fleet,
a scow machinery for new derrick was added to the harbour construction plant.
The statement pf receipts and disbursements for the year on Revenue
account show an expenditure of §1,436,533.85 and receipts of $1,348,241.65.
The expenditure on Capital accoxmt was $1,850,001.40, advances from
Dominion Government and balances from 1914 81,955,081.69, receipts on
Capital account $1,955,081.69.
QUEBEC HARBOUR COMMISSION.
Work was carried on in constructing new dock frontage on the north face
of the Louise Embankment, which, when completed, will accommodate vessels
drawing 35 feet of water, fireproof landing sheds, grain loading galleries, electric
wharf cranes, and other modern appliances will be installed on this frontage
which will be thoroughly up-to-date and complete in every respect.
On the river St. Charles front six foundation blocks for the bulkhead wall
were sunk and filled ready for superstructure — total length 1,162 feet. Total
length of substructure of this wall now completed is 2,843 feet, of superstructure
REPORT OF THF, DEPUTY MINISTER 31
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
2,387 feet. Some 969,728 cubic yards of dredging filling have been deposited
between the old and the new north walls of the Louise embankment, bringing
this portion up to the general level.
At Indian cove substructure blocks for the bulkhead wall have been com-
pleted for a length of 1,010 feet.
A set of ways has been laid down on the beach to the west of Long wharf
to facilitate painting and repairing of Commissioner's dump and deck scows,
and a pipe line connected with the mill pump for fire protection. From the
Victoria cove quarry 63,000 cubic yards of stone were taken during the season
for bulkhead walls.
Electric lights have been installed on the floating grain elevator, and an
elevator to handle salvage grain in connection with the drier house.
Twenty "Western" dump cars and one spreader have been added to the
commissioners' plant.
A railway line has been built along the west dock front from the cross-
wall to the marine tower of elevator No. 2, and 4 railway lines serving the Q.H.C.
elevator No. 2 have been connected with the embankment railway system.
The total expenditure amounted to $263,514.76 and the receipts on Revenue
account to $251,872.77, leaving a deficit in the year's operations of $11,641.99.
On June 8 the Duke of Connaught visited the docks and on July 19
the Lieutenant-Governor of Quebec made a tour of the harbour and paid a visit
to the harbour commissioners' offices.
The first vessel to leave harbour was the C.G.S. Druid on March 23rd to
place buoys below Quebec, and the last on the 16th December, the ss. Lady of
Gas-pe, bound for Halifax.
The harbour and river were open for genei-al navigation by the middle of
April.
TORONTO HARBOUR COMMISSION.
Toronto harbour, York county, Ontario, is situated on the north side of
lake Ontario, about thirty miles from its western end.
The harbour is formed by a low sandy island on the south side. The ten
foot contour from the centre of the island is about a half mile distant from the
beach. A twenty foot contour is about i^ of a mile. The water increases in
depth from forty to fifty feet about one and a half miles in the lake opposite
the centre of the island. On the western side of the island and part of the lake
shore is Humber bay; on the eastern side of the island and on the lake shore is
Scarboro beach.
There are two entrances to the harbour, the one called the Eastern channel
and the other the Western channel. The Eastern channel is between two
parallel piers constructed of concrete. The approach to this channel has been
dredged to sixteen feet in depth with a splayed width of about 1,000 feet. The
distance between the piers is 375 feet and the depth 16 feet at 245 feet above
New York sea level. The eastern pier of this channel has a boat landing near
the centre.
32 MARINE AND FISHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
The new Western channel, also between concrete piers, is 400 feet between
the piers and the depth of water is about 17 feet. The piers of this channel are,
one on the south side 2,535 feet long and one on the north side 2,235 feet long.
There is also the old Western channel, north of the new channel, close to
the city front and mariners are warned not to use this entrance before consulting
the harbour master of this port.
The shoi'e of the harbour is curved along the south of island side and straight
on the northern or city front. The area of the harbour is six and a quarter
square miles and the depths vary from 14 to 25 feet.
A channel has been dredged to the wharves at Hanlan's point for ferry boats,
and small passenger boats ply between the city and the following : Ward's island.
Centre island, Sick Children's hospital and Hanlan's point. A channel has been
dredged 1,750 feet in length by 100 feet in width with a depth of water at the
present time of 9 feet, and approaching the wharves at Hanlan's point the width
is 250 feet for a distance of 500 feet. This channel is used by steamers plj'ing
between the city wharves and Hanlan's point.
The wharves at pi-esent used by shipping are located on the city side of the
harbour. The face frontage of the wharves measures about one mile and the
wharves are separated by slips of various widths. At the inner end of these
wharves are 25 railway tracks with sidings leading to the various coal and ware-
house wharves. The. depth of water at the wharves varies from 14 to 22 feet.
There is berthing room at some of the wharves for vessels from 300 to 400 feet
in length. There are four wharves where coal for Toronto is discharged and
stored in large sheds, but the principal coal for Toronto is supplied by rail.
The storehouses on the wharves of Toronto at the present time are the
Canada Steamship Co. storehouse with a capacity of 4,000 tons; the two sheds of
the Harbour Commissioners, Harbour Square dock, with a capacity of 4,500
tons each; the three sheds on the Harbour Commissioners dock with a capacity
of 3,000 tons and the Canada Steamship shed with a capacity of 2,000 tons.
There are cold stores having a capacity of about 500,000 cubic feet.
The quantity of coal imported into Toronto harbour by vessel is a follows:

SEASON OF NAVIGATION.
The river St. Lawrence was clear of ice at the port of Montreal and buoys
laid down for navigation to the sea on the 15th of April, ten days earlier than
last season, and on the 20th of April the schooners Honourable Hector Langevin
and Grace Darling put out to sea. On December 1 1th the steamship Port Dalhousie
passed through Montreal harbour for Pictou, N.S., being the last outward bound
vessel to leave the port. The fall was remarkably fine and open.
At the port of Quebec the ht^rbour and river were open for general naviga-
tion by the middle of April and remained open until the 16th of December.

APPENDIX No. 1.
ANNUAL REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF MARINE.
The Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries,
Ottawa.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report of the work done
in the several services under the supervision of this office during the twelve
months ended March 31, 1916.
There have been no changes in the duties pertaining to this branch during
the past 3^ear; thej' remain as enumerated in previous reports.
STAFF.
The following changes have been made in my office staff during the fiscal
year: Miss Edith Mason was temporarily employed as a typist from the 2nd
June, 191.5, to 25th February, 1916, when she was transfen-ed to the Naval
Service Department. Mr. T. L. O'Hara's term of temporarj^ emploj-ment
expired on 2oth June, 1915. Mr. Robert G. Airey was appointed to a third-
class clerkship on 25th June, 1915.
The following members of my staff have been granted leave of absence for
the purpose of joining the overseas Canadian forces: —
]\Ir. F. E. Calderon, draughtsman, private in the machine gun section of
the 2nd Battalion, from the 17th August, 1914.
Mr. John Henderson, assistant engineer, private in the 7th Brigade, C.F.
Artillery from the 31st July, 1915.
JMr. Paul L. Kuhring, draughtsman, to take the officers' training course at
Kingston, from the 20th March, 1916.
Mr. A. C. Andresen, draughtsman, to take the officers' training course at
Kingston, from the 27th March, 1916.
I am pleased with the way in which the staff has worked throughout the
year.
OFFICE WORK.
The largest part of the work done by the general staff of the branch consists
in the construction, repair, and improvement of light-buildings, fog-alarms,
beacons, and other aids to navigation, the supply of new or improved illuminating
apparatus, etc., the payment of expenditures for these services being made out
of the vote of -5750,000 for construction of aids to navigation. Full details
of the work done in this connection during the past j'ear are contained in a sepa-
rate report in tabular form attached hereto, which gives a complete statement
of all expenditure charged to the vote in question. (Inclosure A.)
In addition to the work of this branch done under the above vote, the staff
has been called upon to perform work of varied description for other branches
of the department, and which may be summed up as follows: —
For the Meteorological Service Branch — Erection of storm signal masts at
the following places: Scatari, N.S., Port Hope, Ont., and repairs to observatory
at St. John, N.B. and to the time-ball frame at the citadel, Quebec.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER

SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
Fo7- the Naval Department. — Repairs to boathouse and construction of new
slipway at Blanche, N.S.
Except in a few instances where lighthouse and fog alarm stations are
located at verj- remote and outlying places, the titles to all properties owned by
this department have been completed. •
In addition to this work, the titles to. the sites of all public wharves under
the maintenance and control of this department, numbering about 1,000, are
being investigated and copies of all deeds and other documents affecting the
same are being procured for our title records, so that eventually it is hoped to
obtain a complete record of all these public lands.
&$ During the past year, 321 deeds and other title documents have been added
to our records, and in the prosecution of this work, 120 plans of survey, etc.,
have been made in this office.
In the case of all new properties acquired, expropriation plans and descrip-
tions have been prepared and recorded in the county registry offices, in ad-
dition to the usual notarial deeds, as an extra precaution.
This branch has also undertaken to make a complete record of the limits of
all public harbours established in Canada, and these limits are plotted on plans
which are constantly being added to and will eventually comprise a set covering
the shore-line of the whole of the Dominion. This work is now under way, and
considerable progress has been made during the past year.
The work in connection with applications for water lots has continued
heavy, as will be seen by reference to the draughting-room statistics.
Progress has been made in the establishment of headlines in some of the
principal public harbours, based on joint action by this department and the
Department of Public Works. It is hoped that such establishments will tend
to the improvement both in appearance and convenience of the water-fronts
affected. During the past year headlines have been established by Order in
Council in the following harbours: Victoria, B.C. (partial amendment to esta-
blished headline); Ford, Ont. ; Toronto, Ont. (partial amendment to estab-
lished headline) , Halifax, N.S. ; Pictou, N.S.

PERSONAL INSPECTION.
As in previous years both the chief engineer and the assistant chief engineer
made frequent trips of inspection, especially of works under construction. The
42 MARISE ASD FIfiHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
assistant chief engineer gave particular attention on his visits to improving the
organization and running of the worlishops and depots at the several agency
headquarters, particularly Prescott, Quebec, St. John, and Halifax.
The chief engineer accompanied the Deputy Minister to British Columbia
on a trip extending from 23rd April to 28th May, 1915. They made a general
inspection of aids to navigation on the Pacific coast, going out by Grand Trunk
Pacific railway and paying special attention to the departmental depots of
Prince Rupert and Victoria. Several days were spent in Vancouver learning
conditions affecting the important harbours and harbour-development schemes
on the Fraser river and Burrard inlet. The return trip was by way of Arrow
lakes to Nelson, thence to Spokane and by the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul
railway to Sault Ste. Marie, whence the steamer Simcoe conveyed them across
Georgian bay to Midland, lights and channels being inspected en route.
From August 10 to 20 the chief engineer accompanied the Minister on an
inspection of aids to navigation in the gulf of St. iLawrence. Unfortunately
the weather was unusually rough, making it impossible to land at several stations.
The chief engineer is impressed with the necessity of a more freciuent and
more thorough inspection bj' departmental officials of all the coasts of the Domin-
ion, to deal not only with existing aids to navigation, but also with applications for
new aids, and to investigate conditions affecting the handling of slnps in the
several harbours.
LIGHTING OF HUDSON BAY ROUTE.
In pursuance of the policy inaugurated last year of estabhshing aids to
navigation to assist the Department of Railways and Canals in communicating
with Port Nelson, the C.G.S. Minto was despatched as early as possible after the
opening of navigation in 1915 in Hudson bay and strait, to place in operation
the unwatched gas lights erected in 1914.
The beacons in the strait were found in good condition, were overhauled
and were all in operation bj- 23rd August.
A wooden tower to carry an Aga gas beacon was erected on Nelson shoal
on the west coast of Hudson bay Ijy the Department of Railways and Canals for
this department, and the light was established on it on 5th August, 1915, by
a departmental foreman.
The unwatched beacon at Tatnam, near Port Nelson, was inspected and
recharged by 15th August.
A steel skeleton unlighted day beacon was supplied by the department for
erection at Marsh point, near Port Nelson, to replace a wooden beacon originally
erected by the Hudson's Bay Company, which had blown down. The Hudson's
Bay Company has undertaken to erect the steel lieacon, the department providing
the materials, but the work has not yet been completed.
The total expenditure in connection with the maintenance, supply, and
erection of aids to navigation in Hudson bav and strait during the last fiscal year
was .S9,00G.06.
DEPARTMENTAL DEPOTS.
At the Victoria, B.C., depot, the location and grade at Johnston street having
been settled, the department was able to prepare plans for the improvement
of the property. During the coming fiscal year, all necessary sheds and equip-
ment will be supplied, and the depot will be fully used.
The St. John wharf has been completed anci is now in use by the depart-
ment. A buoy shed has been erected, a derrick installed, and the erection of
additional buildings is contemplated during the coming season.
REPORT OF THE CHIEF ENGINEER
43
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
The work of improvements at the Dartmouth depot, referred to in last
year's report, has been practically completed.
The Prescott depot has been operated as usual during the past fiscal year,
but the work has been less extensive than formerly owing to the curtaihng of
construction. Good success has been reached in the manufacture of reflectors,
and small light-house clocks, and the vapour burner in use in the service has been
standardized and materially improved. Goods amounting to $129,807 have,
been transferred out of the stores. The general up-keep of the Prescott depot
is estimated at approximately .|60,000 per year, of which about two-thirds is
covered by the earnings of the depot, the other third being considered a fair
charge for the maintenance of a buoy and supply depot, a yard, and in fact a
sub-agency of the department. During the past fiscal year the actual cost of
operation was .?56,604, and the actual earnings slightly under .§30,000, making
the net cost of up-keep about $27,000, or about $7,000 more than estimatecl.
This is due to the comparatively small amount of work done owing to war
conditions.
REMOVAL OF OBSTRUCTIONS.
During the past twelve months the following work has been done under the
annual appropriation ^or the removal of wrecks and obstructions to navigation : —
Belliveau cove, N.S.
C'henal Ecarte, Ont. .

MAINTENANCE AND REPAIRS TO WHARVES.
Wharves owned by the Government are usually built by the Department
of Public Works of Canada, and on completion come under this department for
maintenance (see R.S.C. cap. 112 and amending Acts). We have had formally
transferred to our control 388 public wharves, but there are probably twice
that number, of the completion of which we have not been officially notified,
and where wharfingers have not yet been appointed.
This branch attends to minor repairs. Large repairs are undertaken by
the Department of Public Works. During the past year, $8,241.21 has been
expended in repairs to wharves The following is a list by provinces of the
amount expended:

ICE-BREAKING.
1 . A three-year contract with the Canadian Towing and Wrecking Company,
Limited, of Port Arthur, to Iceep the harlwurs at the head of lake Superior open
for navigation until the 17th December in each year, and to open them in the
spring, as soon as the canal at Sault Ste. Marie is open for navigation, is still
in force, and under this contract the harbours of Port Arthur, Fort William, and
West Fort William were opened in the spring of 1915 in good time. Last autumn
the open season continued very late, but some ice was broken as early as the
1st December. It was not found necessary to extend the operations of the ice-
breaking fleet later than the 17th December. No complaints were received
in the department with regard to the ice-breaking operations during the past
season.
2. The contract with S. Shipman, of Sault Ste. Marie, Out., to keep free from
ice the channel between Kensington point, on the north shore of St. Joseph
channel, and a convenient landing on St. Joseph island or Campement d'Ours
island, was renewed for another year, the work beginning in the autumn of 1915
and continuing until the ice had formed to sufficient thickness to permit teams
of horses to cross in safety. The work also included the breaking of a channel
in the spring before the ice became dangerous, and keeping the channel free
until general navigation was resumed. The cost for the year is S;500.
3. The usual contribution of $300 was made towards keeping open the St.
Croix river in the vicinity of St. Stephen. The annual cost of this work is in
the neighbourhood of .$1,000 and the department of late years has contributed
$300 a year towards this, the remainder being made up locally.
TELEGRAPH OR TELEPHONE CONNECTIONS WITH LIGHTSTATIONS.
The list of lightstations and other aids to navigation connected by tele-
phone or telegraph with the commercial and government trunk systems, which
was printed last j'ear in very incomplete condition, has been revised and com-
pleted, and is now reproduced, as enclosure B, appended to this report.
The policy of the department has been to restrict telephonic connections to
stations of prime importance, where shipping interests would be benefited by
the prompt transmission of ships' movements, or where shipwreck attended by
danger to life was to be apprehended, and where early notice of a disaster might
bring aid more prompth^
In preparing the list it has been found that a great many lightstations not
included in it are in close proximity to commercial telephone or telegraph stations,
and it may be stated in general terms that there remain few portions of the coast
line of Canada that are not within easy access to telegraph or telephone estab-
lishments, either of commercial companies or of the government system, the
latter being chiefly restricted to districts that would not be commercially profit-
able.

REPORT OF THE COMMISSfOXER OF LIGHTS 63
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
APPPENDIX No. 2.
REPORT OF THE COMMISSIONER OF LIGHTS.
To the Deputy Minister of Marine and Fisheries,
Ottawa.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit the thirteenth annual report of this
branch. The principal work performed has been an extension of the buoy and
beacon services, together with the maintenance of lights and other aids to
navigation throughout the Dominion, and the maintenance and inspection of
public wharves under the control of the Department of Marine and Fisheries.
The operations of this branch are set forth in tabular form in the following two
inclosures, namely: —
Inclosure No. 1. — Statement, by districts, showing the numl:)er of lights of
the several orders, gas beacons, lightships, lightboats, lightkeepers, fog signals,
gas and signal buoys, submarine bells, lighted spar buoys, floats and dolphin^
unlighted buoys, stakes, bushes, dolphins, spindles and beacons during the
fiscal year ended 31st March, 1916.
Inclosure No. 2. — Statement, by localities, giving the number qf unlighted
buoj's, stakes, bushes, dolphins, spindles and beacons maintained during the
fiscal j'ear ended 31st March, 1916.
In former reports it had been my habit to add further inclosures showing the
names of lightstations and lightkeepers; a complete list of stations at which gas
buoys were maintained; new establishments of gas and signal buoys; with-
drawals; and statement giving complete list of stations at which submarine
bells were maintained. As this information is already contained in other govern-
ment publications, it is not repeated here.
In conclusion, I desire to express and record my appreciation of the able
assistance rendered by my staff, and the untiring application to duty exhibited
by each member. It would not have been possible to carry out the large and
increasing amount of work which devolves upon this branch without the co-
operation of all the officers connected with it.
I have the honour to be, sir.
Your obedient servant,
J. G. MACPHAIL,
Commissioner.
Office of the Commissioner of Lights,
Department of Marine and Fisheries,
Ottawa, 31st March, 1916.

REPORT OF SUPERINTENDENT.
Ottawa, July 27, 1916.
The Deputy Minister of Marine,
Ottawa, Ont.
Sir, — I have the honour to present the following annual report on the
operations for the improvements of the river St. Lawrence ship channel and
Signal service, during the fiscal year ending March 31, 1916, also on the ice-
breaking operations during the winter of 1915-16.
I have the honour to be, sir,
Yoia-s obediently,

Superiniending Engineer.
History of the River St. Lawrence Ship Channel.
montreal to quebec.
The St. Lawrence, owing to its situation, is the natural route from the
Atlantic to the northern and northwestern half of the North American continent.
The possil:)ility of converting Montreal into a deep-water seaport was first
suggested in the year 1825, when the Lachine canal was completed and con-
nected Montreal with the Great Lakes, establishing the route commercially.
Ltight-draught sailing vessels could then reach Montreal without trouble
excepr during a few weeks in the autumn, when they resorted to hghtering.
Survej^s were made with the object of increasing the depth of water in the
wateway. After these were completed, the question, of which channel to adopt
through lake St. Peter was hotly discussed, some favouring the "natural" or
old ship channel, and others the "straight channel" through the St. Francis
bank. Finally it was decided to proceed with the work of deepening the
"straight channel," the aim being to obtain a channel 150 feet in width and to
a depth of 14 feet at the lowest water, instead of only 10 feet 6 inches at lowest
water, as existed in the old ship channel which governed the available depth for
navigation between Quebec and Montreal.
The "Board of Works" of Canada were entrusted with the task and began
operations in the spring of 1844, and continued till the month of June, 1846,
when the work was suspended; the management was changed, and the execution
of the work transferred from the Board of Works to the cont ol of the Com-
missioners of Public Works. The dredging was again resumed in the month of
September of the same year. Owing to continued opposition, the work of cutting
the "straight channel" was finally suspended on the 16th of September, 1847,
and subsequently abandoned. After sixty years, it is now considered that
70 MARINE AND FISHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
the "straight channel" as commenced, would have been preferable. Nothing
more was done on lake St. Peter by the Commissioners of Public Works for three
years. The Harbour Commissioners of Montreal then came forward and
offered to complete the project expeditiously and economically. The proposal
was accepted and an Act was passed in August, 1850, transferring the work of
improving the ship channel from the Commissioners of Public Works to the
Harbour Commissioners of Montreal, who were empowered to charge a tonnage
duty sufficient to pay 8 per cent interest upon the outlay with a 2 per cent
contribution to the sinking fund.
16-foot Channel. — The Harbour Commissioners, after examination and the
best advice obtainable, adopted the present channel with five tangents instead
of two long straight. courses, as at first commenced in the "straight channel".
Operations were begun in June, 1851, to dredge this channel to 16 feet at low-
water. Most of the dredging required to attain this depth was in lake St. Peter,
but some small shoals had to be removed at He Delorier and Lavaltrie channel,
and after steady work it was all completed in 1854 to a depth of 16J4 feet at low
water, and wdth a mdth of from 250 to 300 feet.
20-foot Channel. — The work of deepening the channel to attain a depth of
20 feet at low water v\dth a width of 300 feet vvas continued bj- the Harbour
Commissioners and accomplished in November, 1865. Dredging was necessarj''
at Pointe-aux-Trembles (en haut) channel and lake St. Peter to obtain this
depth. Several obstructions had also to be removed in. order to maintain a
more direct channel between Cap St. Michel and Lavaltrie, and in Lavaltrie
channel. The "south" or Vercheres channel had been selected for improvement
instead of the old channel or "north channel" by way of Repentigny and St.
Sulpice.
The operations of 1866-9 were of limited extent, and consisted chiefly in
cleaning up and improving the 20-foot channel which was obtained in 1865.
The completion of the 20-foot channel marked an important era in the
history of the St. Lawrence route. The success of the work amply demonstrated
that the St. Lawrence could be made available up to Montreal for navigation
by the largest class of ocean merchant ships, and the extraordinary increase of
Canadian commerce that attended the improvement of the channel showed how
imperatively it was demanded by the trade of Canada. No sooner was the new
channel fairly in use than the rapid increase of ocean traffic suggested a further
deepening, and a vigorous agitation was commenced for a 24-foot channel at
low water.
25-foot Channel. — It was then resolved to deepen the channel to 25 feet,
which was accomplished in the fall of 1882. A new channel on the south side of
the river, opposite Contrecoeur and parallel to the Lavaltrie channel was
adopted for this channel, as it was wide and deep and recjuired very little dredg-
ing. It was called the Contrecoeur channel. This gave a clear depth of 25 feet
at low water at all points above Cap a la Roche, but at that point and Cap Charles
an average tide was necessary to pass with the full depth available elsewhere.
In the straight parts of the channel the minimum width was 300 feet and at the
bends 325 to 450 feet.
271-foot Channel. — Owing to the growth of trade, it was seen that still
further improvement of the channel was recjuired, and the Harbour Com-
missioners of Montreal obtained permission, by an Order in Council passed the
14th of June, 1883, to proceed with a further deepening to 27J^ feet at low water .
The work was vigorously pushed forward, and by 1888 the channel was com-
pleted to this depth from Montreal to Cap a la Roche, a distance of 1071^ miles,
from which point to Quebec the tide was necessary to obtain that depth. The
channel was 300 feet wide in the straight portions, and,450 feet at the bends.
RIVER ST. LAWRENCE SHIP CHANNEL 71
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
At this juncture the Federal Government, realizing that the tonnage charges
upon the ship channel were detrimental to the mercantile expansion of Montreal,
passed an Act in 1888, making the ship channel a national and not a local work,
and reheved the Harbour Commissioners of their indebtedness with respect to
the ship channel, and transferred the work, plant, etc., to the Department of
Public Works.
The tonnage dues were abohshed accordingly, so that, since the work came
under federal control, the river St. Lawrence ship channel has been free to
the commerce of the world.
The Harbour Commissioners carried on the operations for the Department
of Public Works till the end of the season of 1888, when the official connection
of the commissioners with the ship channel ceased, after having continued for
over thirty-eight years.
In January, 1889, the control and management of the work was assumed
by the Department of Public Works. During the winter, extensive repairs were
made to the dredging plant, which, on the opemng of navigation, was set to work
at Cap a la Roche, Poullier Raj^er, and Cap Charles in deepening the channel at
t hose points to 27}.'2 feet at lov/ water, spring tides.
From this date to 1898, the Department of Pubhc Works continued opera-
tions, and completed the difficult rock work at Cap a la Roche and Cap Charles
to 27J^2 feet at low water. In addition, many portions of the channel were
cleaned up, straightened, and several curves and narrow places widened. Surveys
were made and channels were dredged through several shoals between cap
Charles and Quebec to avoid the necessitj' of waiting for the tide.
30-foot Channel. — The unusually low water of 1895 and 1897, and the
increased size of vessels, urgently called for a wider and deeper channel, and
larger and more powerful dredges and plant were required.
In 1899 the dredging plant was in a condition to warrant a more extensive
plan of operations.
The low water of 1897, the lowest on record, except the short period of
unusually low water of 1895, was adopted as the new datum for the 30-foot
channel, and is nearly IJ^ to 2 feet lower than the ordinary low water plane of
the 273-2-foot channel. The object, therefore, was to realize in the shortest
possible time, a channel 450 feet wide on the tangents and from 500 to 750 feet
wide at the curves. An anchorage 800 feet wide was also to be provided at
White Buoy curve in lake St. Peter. The work also included much straighten-
ing of the channel.
The ship channel continued under the control of the Department of Public
W^orks until 1904, when an Order in Council was passed on March 11, transfer-
ring the management and control of the river St. Lawrence ship channel,
together with the dredging and shipbuilding plant to the Department of Marine
and Fisheries, so as to place the supervision of the improvements to navigation
on the St. Lawrence route under the department directly responsible for t-he
pilotage and aids to navigation.
Under this department, the work was vigorously continued, so that the
season of 1907 saw the completion of the channel from Montreal to Batiscan to
30 feet depth at the extreme low water of 1897, a distance of 101 miles. From
that point to Quebec, the tide could be used to obtain the same depth. There
still remained, however, some widening in lake St. Peter. By the end of the
season of 1910, the dredging M-as all completed to 30 feet to the head of Cap
h la Roche curve, 6 miles below Batiscan, including all the widening between
Montreal and that point. The completion of this work allowed more dredges
to be placed in the Cap a la Roche district, where the dredging operations are the
most difficult, the current being strong and the material to be removed mostly
hard shale rock.
72 MAEIXE AXD FISHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
The dredging operations were then carried on with renewed energy and,
considering the difficulty of worlcing in this locahty, good progress has been
made, so ttiat, at the close of the season of 1914, only about half a mile of deep-
ening in the Cap a la Roche district was required, to give a depth of 30 feet at
extreme low water. This is 4}/2 feet greater depth than in the 27J'2-foot channel,
as the low water plane adopted for the 30-foot project here is 2 feet lower than
that of the 271^-foot channel. The widening is nearly completed.
The Cap a la Roche channel was widened from 300 feet to 450 and 550 feet,
and the Cap Charles channel from 300 feet to 450 feet with 600 feet at the
curve, and completed last season.
Grondines channel was also completed last season to a depth of 30 feet,
wnth a width of 450 feet.
Both the Cap Charles and Grondines channels were openel for navigation
during the season of 1915.
The only place that now requires dredging to obtain 39 feet between Cap
a la Roche and Quebec, is at St. Augustin bar, 14 miles above the latter place.
Advantage must still be taken of the tide, by deep-draught vessels, to pass this
place. The range of tide being 16 V^ at springs and 11 at neaps.
So-Joot Channel. — In 1910 the question of further deepening was considered
because the rapid increase in the size of vessels was likely to find the 30-foot
channel too shallow. The Government therefore resolved to proceed immediately
with the deepening of the ship channel to 35 feet at extreme low water of 1897,
and in 1910 work started in lake St. Peter. Owing to the undulating character
of the river-bed, dredging is not required throughout the whole length of the
channel between Montreal and Quebec, as at some points the natural depth is
more than sufficient to secure 35 feet at extreme low water.
Out of a total distance of 160 miles, 82.24 miles will require dredging.
This work is now in active progress, and at the end of the season of 1915, 28.62
miles had been dredged to 35 feet, leaving 53 . 62 miles unfinished.
SHIP CH.\NNEL BELOW QUEBEC.
In the spring of 1901 the shipping interests of ^Montreal brought to the
attention of the Honourable the Minister of Public Works, the fact that deep-
draught vessels had to wait for the tide to pass St. Thomas and Crane Island
shoals, which caused these vessels to lose a great deal of valuable time. The
officers of the Marine and Fisheries Department at Quebec, who had an intimate
knowledge of this part of the river, strongly recommended improving the north
channel, commencing below the island of Orleans, as being much better, more
easily navigated, and having less ice in winter than the south channel. Orders
were given to the Ship Channel staff which was then under the Department of
Public Works to make a survey and examination of the north channel with a
view to reporting on the practicability and cost of improving that route and
adopting it for navigation.
In 1902, a similar survey was made of the south channel, to ascertain what
improvements would be required to make a 30-foot channel on the line of the
existing route.
A comprehensive report was made on Feliruary 24. 1903, by !Mr. F. W.
Cowie, C.E., who was then superintending engineer to the acting chief engineer
of the Public Works Department, on the question of the proposed improvements
below Quebec.
The report did not recommend the adoption of either route, but advised
that the choice should meet with the approval of the underwriters, the shipping
interests, and the pilots.
RITER ST. LAWRENCE SHIP CHANNEL ^ -73
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
■ The Transportation Commission visited the locality, going over each channel
and taking evidence on the subject. It was finally decided to improve the south
channel Ijy dredging it to 30 feet at extreme low tide, and to a width of 1,000 feet.
The parliamentary appropriation, to enable the commencement of improving
the south channel below Quebec, became available only late in the autumn of
1905. The ship channel dredging operations had been transferred to the
Department of Marine and Fisheries in 1904. Arrangements were made to have
a powerful steel twin-screw hopper hj'draulic dredge, constructed at the govern-
ment shipyard at Sorel. It was estimated that it would take a year and a half
to build and equip this powerful machine, which was carefully designed for that
special work.
In March, 1906, the Department of Marine and Fisheries received very
strong representations that these improvements could not be delayed, and that
to wait till 1907 to make a commencement would seriously menace the proposed
plans for a largely improved steamship service. The nature of the work below
Quebec, the exposed position, want of shelter, etc., made the ordinary American
type of dredge out of the question.
The self-propelling sea-going hopper type, as almost altogether used in
Great Britain being required, inquiries were made from the dredge builders in
Great Britain and ship agents for a dredge immediately available, suitable for
this work.
The builders had none on hand, and the only suitable ones offered were in
Australia and South Africa. Messrs. Ferguson Bros., one of the largest firms
building dredging and harbour plant, wrote, stating that there was not a hopper
dredger of the capacity mentioned to be bought in England. Messrs. Simons &
Co., also large and successful dredge builders, wrote that all their large dredges
were fully employed, and that thej' did not think there was a possibility at that
time of procuring a second-hand hopper dredger, either hydraulic or bucket
ladder tj'pe.
A Dutch pump dredge, at New Orleans, was offered by Messrs. H. E. Moss
& Co., of Liverpool, England, for £34,000. The price being very reasonable,
on authority of Council the Minister- ordered an examination with a view to
purchase. The only olsjection to this dredge was that it had no cutter and
therefore was not suitable for dredging anj'thing but sand or soft silt. After ex-
amination it was decided to purchase it, as Messrs. Moss & Co. had reduced
their offer to £30,000.
The dredge was purchased on April 20, 1906, at that price, or .|146,000,
with interest to date of payment. The vessel was docked and made ready for
the long voyage, and all expenses of repairs, wages, provisions, stores, etc., until
the dredge reached Quebec, amounted to .$10,942.14 and •14,574.17 insurance.
The dredge Galveston arrived at Quebec from New Orleans under her own
steam, having been twenty-nine days on the voyage. She continued up to Sorel
to be thoroughly overhauled and fitted out, additional quarters for the crew
being also provided.
South Channel (SO feet at E.L.W.) — The Government having decided to
first improve the south channel, preparations were made to start the work.
The project had in view a channel 30 feet in depth, at extreme low tide at
Beaujeu bank and St. Thomas' flats, with a width of 1,000 feet.
The changes and improvements on the dredge Galveston being completed,
she left Sorel for Beaujeu bank, off Crane island, on August 11, 1906, and began
operations on August 13. The material consisted of coarse sand and gravel,
with some layers of soft blue clay. The new hopper hydraulic dredge Beaujeu
was launched at the government shipyard at Sorel on December 2, 1906, and
completed on November 1, 1907. She was then taken down to commence opera-
74 . MARINE AND FISHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
tions on the channel through St. Thomas flats, the material to be dredged
being soft clay, sand, and some stones.
With these two powerful dredges, good progress was made with the work.
The Beaujeu Bank channel was completed in 1909 to 30 feet at extreme low tide,
and the widening finished in 1910. The channel was then opened to navigation.
The St. Thomas channel was completed to a depth of 30 feet at extreme
low tide and to a width of 1,000 feet during the season of 1912. The channel
was then marked out with gas buoys and opened to navigation. This was
considered a great improvement as deep-draught vessels were not obliged to
anchor to wait for the tide to pass Beaujeu bank or St. Thomas flats, thereby
saving much valuable time.
North Channel (35 feet at E.L.T.) — The south channel being now completed'
the powerful hydraulic dredge No. 8 (Beaujeu) was enabled to be placed at work
on the north channel where dredge No. 9 (Galveston) had already been operating
for a season, as the Government had decided to dredge the north channel between
St. Jean, islanti of Orleans, and Goose cape, to a depth of 35 feet at extreme low
tide, and to a width of 1,000 feet.
The two powerful sea-going hydraulic dredges No. S and No. 9 have since
then been at work in that channel, the material to be dredged being sand and
gravel.
Although these two dredges have made good progress, there still remains
6,928,805 cubic yards to be removed.
t a Owing to requests made by the shipping interests to complete the channel
as~soon as possible, the Government gave a contract in October, 1914, to the
Canadian Vickers, Ltd., of Montreal, to build one of the largest sea-going
elevator dredges in the world. It is expected to have this dredge completed by
September, 1916. With this addition to the dredging fleet below Quebec, the
completion of the north channel will be greatly expedited.

SS. Cascapedia. — September 15. The Quebec Steamship Company's
steamer Cascapedia was stranded on south bank at head of lake St. Peter during
dense fog; came off without any damage.
SS. Indore. — September 22. The steamer Jyidore, outward bound, when
coming to anchor at the anchorage ground below Pointe Citrouille, grounded
slightly on the south bank, but came off without assistance or damage.
SS. Lady of Gaspe. — October 13. The steamer Lady of Gnspe, owned by
the Gasp6 Steamship Company stranded at about one-third or half a mile east
of the Quebec bridge, on the north shore of the river St. Lawrence, during fog.
Bottom was damaged. Stranding was due to lack of prudence and to bad
navigation on part of master.
SS. Harmatris. — November 6. The steamer Harmatris, loaded with supplies
for the British Government, outward bound, went ashore at the upper end of
Cap a la Roche channel, on the south side. The steamer came off at high tide
with the assistance of a tug, slightly damaged. Accident caused by steering gear
not working properly.
(S(S. Saint Cecilia. — November 13. The steamer Saint Cecilia, loaded with
supplies for the British Government, outward bound, went ashore in Montreal
harbour, opposite Vickers floating dock, on south side of channel. After unload-
ing part of cargo the steamer was pulled off undamaged next day. The accident
was due to the steering gear not working properly.
Most of the accidents mentioned above are of a minor nature, and none can
be attributed to any fault of the ship channel.
QUEBEC TO FATHER POINfT.
SS. Christine and H.I. — May 18. The examination steamer Christine
collided with the H.L, bound for Montreal, resulting in the sinking of the former
vessel, and the loss of six members of her crew and one signalman on board, at
7.55 p.m. at a place about half-a-mile west of the St. Jean wharf, island of
Orleans. The H.I. was only slightly damaged. The finding of the wreck Com-
missioners' court was that the captain of the Christine was chiefly to be blamed
for the accident.
SS. Strathcona. — May 29. The steam barge Strathcona, of the Canada
Steamship Lines, stranded at White island. Got off" with slight damage, and
proceeded to unload part of her cargo at Riviere-du-Loup.
SS. Haddington. — June 4. The Canadian Steamship Lines' steamer Had-
dington went aground on the Eastern reef of Red island. Came off at flood tide,
with partial damage to her bottom. Accident was due to the sailing master in
charge not exercising proper .seamanship and good judgment.
SS. Henry B. H.all. — June 10. The steam barge Henry B. Hall stranded
one-and-a-half miles southeast of the Stone Pillars hght. Smoky weather.
Came off without any damage. The accident was due to carelessness and
neglect on the part of the pilot.
Barge A.D. — June 23. The barge A.D. became water-logged in a heavy
sea at Crane island o-wing to steam pumps getting out of order, and the hand
pumps being unable to keep her afloat. The heavy gale raging at the time
caused her to founder.
SS. Romncy. — June 24. The steamer Romney, inward bound, went
aground on Green island reef; was floated the same day at high water and pro-
76

ceeded up to Quebec. Her bottom was damaged. The accident was due to
lack of attention to dutv on part of pilot, who mistook Green Island light for
Red Island light.
Steamer Tadoussac. — June 28. The Canadian Steamship Lines' steamer
Tadoussac was stranded near Ste. Iren^e wharf during fog. Was got off with
small damage.
SS. Bengore Head and ss. Batiscan. — August 1. The steamer Batiscan,
inward bound, and steamer Bengore Head, outward bound, collided off cape
Salmon during fog. The Bengore Head had to be beached on Hare Island reef.
The Batiscan also received damage, but was able to proceed on her way up.
The finding of the Wreck Commissioner's court was that the ss. Batiscan was
entirely to blame for the accident.
SS. Romcra. — August 15. The steamer Romera, owned by the Glasgow
United Shipping Corapam' touched bottom on shoal on the north shore between
cape Dogs and cape Salmon during fog. Small damage. The finding of the
Wreck Commissioner's court was that the pilot was to blame for the accident.
SS. Pretorian and s.s. Kansan. — September 15. The steamship Pretorian
of the Allan Line collided with the steamship Kansan, inward bound, of the
American Hawaiian Steamship Compan\', whilst former was at anchor at a
place about a mile east of the White Island lightship during thick fog. Both
steamers received some damage. The finding of the Wreck Commissioner's
court was that the accident was due to lack of prudence and bad navigation on
the part of the pilot.
Barque Sosteen. — September 2(5. The Danish barque Sosteen was stranded
on the north side of Barnabj^ island about one mile from west end, the anchor
cable having parted and the ship drifted ashore. Received considerable damage.
None of the above accidents which occurred between Quebec and Father
Point can lie attributed to the ship channel.

5. The Signal Service offices at Montreal, Quebec, and St. John are open
day and night for the purpose of furnishing the public with information of
shipping matters.
6. The telegraph system of the Department of Public Works on the north
shore of the gulf of St. Lawrence report the movements of vessels engaged in the
coasting trade to the signal service at Quebec.
7. The collectors of Customs at all the seaports in the river and gulf of St.
Lawrence, on the Atlantic coast and in the bay of Fundy report the arrival and
departure of vessels engaged in the overseas trade.
8. Lloyd's agents at Quebec are furnished daily with full information of
the movements of vessels engaged in the overseas trade to and from ports in the
province of Quebec.
9. Lloyd's agents at St. John are furnished daily with full information of
the movements of vessels engaged in the overseas trade to and from ports in the
Maritime Provinces.
Improvements Carried out and Contemplated.
The signal service at Halifax, St. John, North Sydney, and Quebec, in the
river and gulf of St. Lawrence and on the Great Lakes, and the telephonic and
reporting service between Quebec and Montreal were combined on the 1st April,
1914, under the heading of Signal Service, with headquarters at Quebec. This
consolidation has greatly facilitated the work and has led to many improvements.
An arrangement was made with the Department of Railways and Canals
whereby their officials at the Lachine, Soulanges, Cornwall, Galops, Welland,
and Sault Ste. Marie canals, report several times daily to the Signal Service at
Montreal, giving movements of vessels bound to Montreal and points east of
that port. In this connection a private telephone line has been established
between the Signal Service office, Montreal and the canal office at Lachine.
This service has proved itself to be very useful, especially to the shipping interests
of the port of Montreal, and will be extended from time to time as conditions
may warrant.
A new signal station was estabHshed at Cap St. ]\Iichel and put in operation
on the 27th July, 1915, and another just below Bellmouth curve, on the south
shore; this one, however, was not readj' to commence operations before the end
of the season, therefore it was decided to continue the Verchcres signal station
for the balance of the season and then close it up for good and open the new

Bellmouth station the following spring. The old signal station building at
Batiscan was towed up on a scow and utilized for the Bellmouth station, after
certain alterations and repairs were made. W4
The signal station at Vercheres was closed on the 15th December, 1915.
These new stations will improve the service considerably, giving it better
facilities for showing weather conditions on the river and for reporting the
movements of vessels.
The signal stations at Point Tupper, C.B., N.S., and Scatari island, N.S.,
are to be put in operation on the 1st April, .191G.
It has also been decided to establish a reporting station in the Mainadieu
lighthouse. This station, with the one at point Tupper and at Scatari island will
improve the service, enabling the weather conditions and movements of vessels
to be reported in territory not previously covered by the signal service.
All the various signal stations were kept in good repair and painting done
where required.
Quebec, Que., May 1, 191G.
Ice-breaking, Winter 1915-16.
Sir, — I have tha honour to submit the following report on the work of the
ice-breaking steamers Lady Grey and Montcalm during the winter of 1915-16: —
On the 30th of November, 1915, the C.G.S. Lady Grey was sent to Three
Rivers to be on hand to assist any vessels through the ice, should it be found
necessary. The Lady Grey remained there until December 11, when she
accompanied the ss. Port Dalhousie to Quebec, this being the last steamer out.
The Lady Grey then commenced her usual trips to Cap Rouge and St.
Nicholas, to observe the ice conditions at these points.
The ice-))reakcr Montcalm returned from her trip to Gaspe, Anticosti island,
and north shore points on January 4, 1916, and immediately was overhauled
for her ice-breaking operations, and then took her turn with the Lady Grey to
observe ice conditions at the bridge and above, when it was found advisable.
The weather was comparatively mild all through December, January', and
the beginning of February. This gave very Httle work for the ice-breakers
during this period, as they had only to occasionally widen the channel at Cap
Rouge and slice off at Beauport batture.
The ice-bridge formed at Port St. Francis on December 20, and a few days
afterwards it had formed solid from that point to Montreal.
A serious ice-jam occurred at Cap Rouge on February 13, the ice having
stopped between the Quebec bridge piers at 10.45 a.m., and had also stopped in
Quebec harbour. The ice-breakers were kept at work opposite Indian cove,
in order to keep the lower part of the harbour clear of ice. Next day at 6 a.m.
they began to work upwards, and by 1 p.m. had cut their way for a distance of
2 miles in broken ice, of 4 to 5 inches thickness, and piled up to a depth of 10
to 12 feet.
Owing to the tide conditions, the ice-breakers had to stop work, and at the
time they stopped work the end of the ice above could not be seen. During the
following night the jam gave away, and most of it passed down, and by 8.30 a.m.
the remainder moved out. This jam was caused by the very severe weather
which occurred at neap tides when the current was less strong. A strong north-
east wind also helped to retard the ice.
A jam occurred at Quebec harbour on February 26, and another on the 27th,
caused by a large piece of batture ice coming from Les Ecureuils bank, jamming
at the bridge. Both these jams were easily broken up by the ice-breakers.
80 MARINE AND FISHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
On December 21 the Lady Grey made a trip to Grosse Isle with passengers
and freight, and on Januar.y 21 she went down to Red island to rescue the crew
of the ferry boat Pilot which was aground.
The Lady Grey made several trips during the winter to Portneuf to slice off
the batture ice, and give a ^^^der channel, to allow the ice to move down freely.
The channel was kept open all winter up to Three Rivers.
It had been decided to begin breaking the ice above Three Rivers on ^larch
20, but owing to the Montcalm being required to assist the ferry boat C.G.S.
Champlain between Murray bay and Riviere Quelle, on the 23rd, as the ice was
too heavy for the Champlain, the Lady Grey only began work on the 24th, about
a mile and a half above Three Rivers.
The Montcalm remained at Quebec in case the liatture ice at Les Ecureuils
and bay St. Croix might break away with the spring tides and jam at Cap Rouge.
As the ice was found verj- thick and progress slow, with the Lady Grey
working alone, the Montcalm was ordered up on the 27th to help the Lady Grey,
and \\\X\\ both vessels working together, more rapid progress was made.
From Three Rivers down to Quebec, the river was practically clear of ice
from shore to shore, the only points where there was any shore-ice were at
Les Ecureuils and baj' Ste. Croix.
Above Three Rivers, from the point where the Lady Grey commenced, up
to the foot of lake St. Peter, the ice was 24 to 36 inches thick, and very slow
progress was made, and it was only by April 1 that this part was clear of ice up
to Nicolet traverse.
The cutting of the channel and widenhig was pushed ahead to a short distance
above curve No. 2. It was then decided not to go up farther on account of a
crack in the ice about a half mile above Yamachiche bend, which went right across
the lake, and it was expected that the whole of the ice below this might move
bodily at any time. If this had happened there was great danger of one of the
ice-breakers being caught above this point for some days.
The ice on lake St. Peter started to move on April 15 and, assisted by the
constant work of the ice-breakers, the whole lake was practically clear of ice
by the 19th.
Both ships proceeded next day and broke up a jam abreast of Ste. Anne de
Sorel, and then worked till the 22nd breaking up a very heavy one in the vicinity
of Sorel point. When this was accomplished, the river was clear of ice from
^Montreal to the gulf.
Owing to a very heavy formation of frazil ice at the foot of Soulanges canal,
the Department of Railways and Canals applied to the Department of Marine
for the services of the C.G.S. Lady Grey to clear the channel in order to allow
vessels to pass.
The Lady Grey left Sorel on April 24, 1916, for :Montreal, and left for lake
St. Louis early next morning. The commencement of the ice was abreast of
the church on He Perrot; the ice-breaker worked all that day and the next.
On the 26th a large piece of batture ice broke i\\\a\ and grounded below Windmill
point, blocking tlie channel; the Lady Grey worked two da^'s breaking this up.
On the 27th the Lady Grey had to return to Lachine for coal, which she took during
the night. Next morning she returned to her work opposite Cascades island,
and succeeded in clearing the channel to the foot of Soulanges canal at 4.30 p.m.
that day, thereby allowing free passage to vessels.

The Lady Grey then proceeded down on her way to Montreal, but was
detained several days at the entrance of the Lachine canal owing to repairs in
the canal.
I have the honour to be, sir,
Your obedient servant,

Gener.\l Information.
The New Steamboat channel for light-draught vessels and tows, through
the islands opposite Sorel to lake St. Peter by way of the Grand Chenal, was
completed to a depth of 15 feet at e.xtreme low water of 1897, and to a minimum
width of 400 feet.
As soon as the three lighthouses to mark the different coiu'ses are completed
in the spring of 191G, the channel will be buoyed out and opened for navigation.
All light-draught vessels and tows will have to use this channel, and keep
out of the ship channel. This will relieve the ship channel of these vessels and
prevent them being in the way of the ocean steamers in the bends between
Sorel and lake St. Peter. This new channel is practicallj' a continuation of the
Repentigny Steamboat channel. With this aildition, there will be a distance
of over 50 miles, between lake St. Peter and Montreal, where tows and light-
draught vessels can keep out of the ship channel.
Considerable progress was made in the deepening of the ship channel to
35 feet at extreme low water of 1897 between Three Rivers and Montreal;
8 miles in length was dredged during the season.
The dredging of the 35-foot channel through lake St. Peter is nearly com-
pleted; there remains only He au Raisin traverse and about half a mile in
Nicolet traverse to be done, which will be completed next season.
The Cap Charles Channel, at Cap a la Roche, was completed to 30 feet at
extreme low water of 1897, and witlened from 300 to 450 feet in the straight jjor-
tion and G50 feet at the curve. A new range of liglits was constructed to mark
the new centre line, and permanent beacons erected to mark the l)ank lines.
The channel was then buoyed to give the increased width, and opened to
navigation.
The Grondines Channel was also completed to 30 feet at extreme low water
and widened from 300 to 450 feet. A new range of lights was constructed to
mark the new centre line. This channel was also buoyed to give the increased
width and opened for navigation.
The widening of Cap a la Roche curve is almost completed, but there re-
mains considerable deepening and cleaning up to be done yet. A large area of
rock was also broken bj^ the rock cutter in readiness for next season's work.
(lood progress was made with the widening of the ship channel through
Montreal harbour at St. Mary current and Longueuil shoal; the curve at the
latter point is to be widened from 700 to 800 feet.
The dredging operations in the north channel below Quebec have been
carried on vigorously, two large sea-going suction dredges being kept at work
during the whole season. They removed 2,197,568 cubic yards, and there still
remains 6,928,805 cubic yards to be dredged. This channel is to be 1,000 feet
in width and 35 feet in dej^th at extreme low tide. Where there was only 7 feet

7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
at low tide, there is now a depth of 26 feet. With the addition of the new dredge
now building at Canadian Vickers, Limited, Montreal, much greater progress
will be made.
The length of the 30-foot channel actually completed at the close of the
season of navigation 1915, equals 66-30 statute miles. The total length requiring
dredging is 70 • 00 miles, leaving 3 • 70 miles yet to be done.
The total length of the 35-foot channel completed at the end of the season
of navigation 1915 equals 29-37 statute miles. The total length requiring dredg-
ing being 90-38 miles; there remains to be dredged, 61-01 miles.
A commencement was made on the construction of the compensation dams,
as recommended by the commission appointed -to investigate and report upon
the water levels of the river St. Lawrence at and below Montreal.
In order to lessen the cost, it was decided to utilize, as much as possible,
the dredging material taken from the ship channel and deposit it on the sites
of the proposed dams.
Dredged material was dumped on the following sites: Repentigny (between
He a Bague and He Bellegarde); Chenal Corbeaux (between He de Grace and
Stone island) ; Chenal des Barques (between He aux Barques and He du Moine) ;
Pointe du Lac, at foot of lake St. Peter.
During the season the usual sweeping of the ship channel was done, and
no obstruction of a serious nature was found.
The Cap a la Roche semaphore at Deschaillons, Que., which gives the depth
of water in the dredged channel was put in operation on May 1st, 1915, and
St. Nicholas semaphore showing the available depth over the midredged St.
Augustin bar was started on the same day.
The total cost from 1851 to the end of the fiscal. year, March 31, 1916, of
the ship channel, including plant, shops surveys, etc., is as follows: — -
Dredging $12,518,963 84
Plant, shops, surveys, etc 7,533,387 40
$20,052,351 24
The number of cubic yards dredged amounted to 105,989,842, the material
varying from very hard shale rock to soft blue clay.

Dredges.
Elevator Dredge No. 1 {Laval). — This is the oldest dredge belonging to the
ship channel fleet. The hull is of wood, and was constructed at Ottawa in
1894. The buckets are cast steel, designed for work in rock or other hard
material.
During the winter of 1914-15, general repairs to the hull were made. The
machinery was given a general overhauling and put in good condition for the
next season's work. The details of the operations of this dredge for the fiscal
year beginning April, 1915, were as follows: —
Dredge No. 1 left Sorel for Montreal on May 4, where she was laid out in
St. Mary current, Montreal harbour, to widen and deepen the ship channel to
30 feet at extreme low water of 1897.
The progress was slow owing to the large number of boulders that had to
be lifted out of the dredge's cut, necessitating the frequent use of a stone-lifter.
The material to be removed consisted of stones, gravel, and many boulders.
No. 1 was kept working in St. Mary current until November 22, when she
was taken down to Sorel to go into winter quarters.
She was at work for a total of 169 days, and her machinery was in operation
67 per cent of the full working time.
The total number of cubic yards removed amounted to 79,472, at a total
cost of .?62,4.31.45 or 78'5G centi per cubic yard.
Elevator Dredge No. 2. — The hull of this dredge is of wood and was con-
structed at the government shipj^ard, Sorel, Que., in 1897.
Dredge No. 2 is- equipped with a set of cast-steel buckets specially designed
for rock and other hard material.
During the winter of 1914-15, the following repairs were made: One new
upper tumbler anfl one new lower tumbler shaft and bush, and two ncAV rollers
on ladder frame were supplied; the bottoms of chutes were renewed; general
repairs made to deck and deck houses, hull and deck work; outisde and inside
were painted; and other sundry repairs made. The main engine and deck winches
were overhauled, etc., also general overhauling of dynamo and electric installation.
The boilers had a few minor repairs done to them.
The details of the operations of this dredge for the fiscal year beginning
April 1, 1915, are as follows: —
Dredge No. 2 left Sorel on April 19, 1915, for Varennes curve to commence
the season's work, where she was laid out to deepen the channel to 35 feet at
E.L.W. No. 2 remained in operation at this point until June 11, when she was
towed down to be laid out to work in the ship channel at Stone island to dredge
to 35 feet at E.L.W. On July 2, the dredge was towed down to Grondines, where
she was laid out to clean up lumps found in the channel by the sweeping scow,
after the dredges had completed dredging it to 30 feet at E.L.W.
This work was finished on October 4, the dredge was then moved up to do
more cleaning up in the Cap Charles channel to 30 feet at E.L.W. This was very
slow work owing to the numerous boulders which had to be lifted with a stone-
lifter. No. 2 continued cleaning up in Cap Charles channel until November 2,

where she was laid out at the lower end of the curve to deepen the channel to
35 feet at E.L.W. of 1897, and continued working on curve No. 2, until July 27,
when the dredge finished her cut at the upper end of the curve, where the
deepening to 35 feet bteween curve No. 2 and No. 1 commenced.
The dredge lost considerable time clue to lack of steam, and the ciuestion
of renewing her boilers will soon have to be taken up as they are getting into
very bad condition.
As dredge No. 7 was in need of certain repairs to her hull, and new sea-
cocks to be put in, it was decided to take her up to Montreal and place her in the
Canadian Vickers floating dock, before laying No. 7 out again at Contrecoeur,
in the Contrecoeur course, where it was now the intention to put her at work.
After the pontoons and discharge pipe had been disconnected and placed
in Chenal au Corbeaux for safety. No. 7 left for Montreal in tow of tugs Frontenac
and Lotbiniere on July 29. The dredge entered the floating dock on July 30
and came out on August 5, and was immediately towed down to Contrecoeur,
and placed in position on August 6 at the lower end of Contrecoeur course to
deepen the channel to 35 feet at E.L.W. of 1897.
The pontoons and discharge pipe were brought up and all connections
were completed, the dredge was read}- to commence operations on August 9.
Dredge No. 7 worked until September 13, when the cutter-head shaft broke,
necessitating the stopping of the dredge for several da.ys, while it was being
repaired at the Sorel shipyard shops.

repairs done to the rudder. When the work was done N'o. 8 left Quebec on
April 23 and began dredging at West Sand, north channel, the same daj', where
she continued working on the north channel to obtain a depth of 35 feet at
extreme low tide, and a width of 1,000 feet.
On July 14 the dredge left for ^Montreal to enter Canadian Vickers floating
dock, to get repairs done to her dumping doors, as some of the shafts were bent.
.Vo. S had to be assisted by the C.G.S. Lady Grey, as her steering gear was out
of order. The dredge entered the floating dock on the 16th. On the 20th, the
repairs being completed, Xo. S came out of dock and after taking coal continued
dovni to West Sand, north channel, below Quebec, where she had left off, reach-
ing there at 2 a.m. next day.
The dredge worked at West Sand until July 22, and then moved dowTi to
east narrows, north channel. On the 24th, Xo. S had to be beached at St. Michel,
to repair one of the dumping doors. The repairs being finished, the dredge left
St. Michel on the 26th, and returned to her work at east narrows.

In the interval between the above dates, the time was occupied in changing
the short for the long dipper arm and other repairs.
On August 27, the dipper arm was broken and had to be replaced by the
short one, the long one being taken down to Sorel for repairs.
The large gear-wheel of the main engine broke on September 30, and it
was October 9 before it was in order again. Lost time during the month with
the stern spud hoisting wire breaking a couple of times.
On November 1 the services of the floating crane were required again, to
lift the stern spud out to put in a new sheave, so it was decided to take No. 10
up to Racine pier and get the work done there in order to save time. The
repairs being completed on No. 10, the dredge was taken dowm to work again
where she left off at He Deslauriers. One of the bow spud keepers broke on the

she was laid out to widen the Longueuil "curve on the north side of the channel.
It is proposed to widen this channel to 800 feet, the material being hard-pan
and stones. Lost considerable time waiting for scows, as the derricks were not
able to empty the flat scows fast enough, and also on account of the long distance
the dumping scows had to be towed to the dumping ground.
Dredge No. 11 was in operation till August 28, when the stern spud hoist-
ing wire broke, which necessitated the services of the harbour floating crane.
The repairs being completed on the 1st September, the dredge continued

was made on each side of engine room casing. Alterations to heating system
in bath-room and officers' quarters were made. General overhauling of piping
and drains and other auxiliaries. The hull and deck-work were repainted, and
sundry repairs were carried out. Some of the rivets were renewed on the boilers,
and some caulking done.
The details of the operations of this dredge for the fiscal year beginning
April 1, 1915, were as follows: —
Dredge No. 14 left Sorel on April 28, and was taken up to St. Ours traverse
(Contrecoeur channel) and was laid out to work in the channel to deepen to
35 feet at E.L.W. Having finished her cut on June 15, No. I4 steamed down
to Sorel to get repairs done to her lower tumbler, and change a cracked bucket.
She returned to St. Ours traverse on June 21, and was laid out to work on the
south half of the chamxel. No. I4 continued to work on the south half of Bell-
mouth curve after the south half of St. Ours traverse was finished, Init was obliged
to stop on August 19, owing to the lack of water On the banks to lay out the
breasting anchors.
No. 14 went dowTi that same day and was laid out on the south side to
widen the curve at the foot of St. Ours traverse, the material being clay and
small stones. She continued in operation here until September 20, when she
went doirtm to Sorel for repairs to the upper tumbler.
The repairs being finished. No. I4 left Sorel on September 22, and went
up to Vercheres and was laid out to work on the north half of the channel between
Verchcres and Cap St. jMichel at the lower end, to dredge to 35 feet at E.L.W.,
the material being clay. Considerable time was lost during the season owing
to trouble with the dumping scows. On November 20, dredge No. I4 picked
up her anchors and went down to Sorel to go into winter quarters.
The working time of dredge No. 14 was 168 days, the dredge being in actual
operation 66 per cent of the full working time.
The total number of cubic yards removed amounted to 884,400 at a cost
of .$63,614.38, or 7.19 cents per cubic yard.

of 1897. She continued working there until the dredge cut was finished. On
September 4, work on repairs to the upper tumbler was begun, but it was found
that it would be a saving of time to take the dredge to Sorel, so No. 15 went down
on the 8th. The necessarj' repairs being completed on September 14, No. 15
left Sorel for Vercheres and was laid out to work on the north half of the channel

SOREL SHIPYARD.
SOREL, June 7, 1916.
The Deputy Minister of Marino,
X)ttawa, Ont.
Sir, — I have the honour to .submit the following annual report of work
done at Sorel .shipyard during the fi.scal year ending 31st March, 1916.
At the begining of the year, 1st April, 1915, the winter repairs and re-
newals and outfitting of the vessels of the St. Lawrence Ship Channel fleet
were practically all completed and the crews being taken on for the coming
season's work.
The Richelieu river was clear of ice on the 3rd April, 1915, and the St.
Lawrence river, at Sorel, on the 5th April, 1915. The first dredge of the fleet
left Sorel to go into commission on the 5th May.
During the season the vessels were all maintained in a good and serviceable
condition and the necessary operating repairs carried out.
Fifteen dredges were put and kept in working condition during the season,
and seventeen tugs of the St. Lawrence Ship Channel fleet were overhauled,
repaired, and painted during the winter months, and minor repairs effected
during the summer months.
Five coal barges, twenty-six dumping scows, and four flat scows, stone
lifters and rock cutter were also repaired and kept in serviceable condition.
The floating shop was fitted with a steam engine, the former gas engine
not having proved satisfactory, and the fenders and deck were repaired.
REPAIRS TO DOMINION STEAMERS.
LfuJii Grey {Ice breaker). — This vessel is an ice-breaker, and the repairs are
done during the fall. The repairs were as follows during the season: —
General overhauling of deck eciuipment; repairs to engine and auxiliaries.
The machinery was overhauled and heavy repairs made to boilers, that is,
additional stay-boks in back of the four boilers; sixty-two tubes were renewed
in the two forward boilers. Installation of one new sanitary pump. The
vessel was painted and varnished where required.
C.G.S. Frontenac. — Summer repairs: This steamer was hauled out on
October 29 to renew lignum vita in bushes. Some caulking to hull and deck
was made at the same time. Engine: had just the ordinary repairs during
summer.

C.G.S. Bollard. — Sunuuer repairs (hull): During the summer the upper
deck was caulked once, and the vessel was painted.
Machinery: Some caulking was done to the boiler besides the ordinary
winter repairs.
Winter repairs: This vessel was prepared for sea-going, which necessitated
the stiffening of hatches, building of bi'eakwater, etc. The oil-heating system
of the boiler was changed into the coal-heating system. The oil tanks in the
bunkers had to bo cut in pieces and removed.
Wood sheathing was placed on the bunker floor, deck hatches installed,
and also grate bars to furnaces.

launched on May 19, 1915; was then completed, and trial trip made on Aug. 6,
when a maximum speed of 11.6 knots was olitained with slightly over 1,000
LH.P. The vessel is fitted with two Scotch marine boilers 11 feet inches
diameter by 1 1 feet 6 inches long, with a working pressure of 150 pounds per square
inch; these were made in the shipj'ard and are fitted with Howden's draught.
The engines are twin-screw triple expansion, jet-condensing, having cylinders
11 inches, 18 inches, and 30 inches diameter by 20-inch stroke, and were supplied
b}^ Poisons Ltd., Toronto.
The gasoline launch, which was built in the shipyard and fitted with a
25-horse-power engine, was tried before delivery to Selkirk, and a mean speed
of 113-2 miles per hour was obtained.
From all reports received, this vessel has given great satisfaction.
No: 57. — This vessel, named Detector, is a twin-screw steel steamer fitted
for sounding and testing purposes in the St. Lawrence ship channel, of the
following dimensions: — Length, B. P., 140 feet inches; length 0. A., 147 feet
inches; breadth moulded, 35 feet inches; depth, moulded 15 feet inches;

This vessel was launched on May 24, 1915, and completed sufficiently for
trials, which took place on the 10th, 13th, and 27th November, 1915.
The main speed of 10.183 knots was obtained with an indicated horse-
power of about 600.
On the third day a trial of the sounding apparatus was made and found
to be satisfactory, the vessel steering well with the boom on the bottom at a
speed of 4 miles per hour, which is about her working speed.
The vessel is fitted with twin-screw compound surface-condensing engines
rhade by the New Burrell Johnson Co., of Yarmouth, N.S., having cylinders
14 inches and 18 inches diameter by 21-inch stroke.

engineers and also for the officers and crew.
The machiner.v consists of twin-screw compound surface-condensing engines
having c.ylindcrs 14 inches and 28 inches diameter by 21-inch stroke, built by
the New Burrell Johnson Co., of Yarmouth, N.S., supphed with steam from
a Scotch marine boiler 15 feet inches diameter by 11 feet inches long, with
a working pressure of 130 pounds per square inch. The boiler has been built
by the shipyard. This vessel will be launched in early summer, 1916.
No. 60. — This vessel, named Argenteuil, is a single-screw steel steamer for
buoy service on the Ottawa river, and is of the following dimensions: — Length
0. A., 100 feet; breadth moulded, 21 feet; depth moulded, 9feet; draught, loaded,
5^ feet.
This vessel was originally intended to be composite-built, but it was found
to be possible on the designed draught to have a complete steel hull with a
sheathing of British Columbia fir on bottom and bilges as a protection against
boulders in the shallow waters where she will be sometimes working.
The steel was taken from the shipyard stock, and work was commenced
on the hull in Julv, 1915, which will be ready to launch earlv in the summer
of 1916.
The machinery consists of one set of compound jet-condensing engines
supplied by Poisons Ltd., Toronto, having cylinders 10 inches and 20 inches
diameter by 14-inch stroke, supplied with steam from a Scotch marine boiler
9 feet 6 inches diameter by 10 feet inches long, having a working pressure of
130 pounds per square inch, which has been made in the shipyard. A derrick
and winch for handling buoys up to 6 tons weight will be fitted.
No. 62. — This vessel is a composite, single-screw steamer for the Depart-
ment of Naval Service for use of the oyster fisheries, of the following dimensions:
Length B.P., 77 feet inches; length, O.A., 85 feet inches; breadth moulded,
18 feet inches; depth, moulded 7 feet inches; draught, 4 feet 9 inches.
This vessel is constructed with steel framing anil plank of rock elm, oak,
and British Columbia fir.
There is accommodation for a crew of six, and the vessel is fitted with a
steam trawl winch and gear for use in the oyster fisheries.
Work was begun towards the end of January, 1916, and the vessel should
be ready to launch by the beginning of June.
The machinery consists of one set of compound surface-condensing engines,
having cylinders 10 inches and 20 inches diameter, liv 12-inch stroke, built by
John Inglis Co., Toronto. The boiler is 8 feet 6 inches diameter by 8 feet 9
inches long, with a working pressure of 120 pounds per square inch, and will
be built in the shipyard.
The vessel would have been ready by the end of May, 1916, but owing to
delaj's in delivery of materials owing to the present war conditions, delivery
will be a little later.
No. 63. — This vessel, named Coal Barge N^o. 6, is a single-screw, steel
coal barge for use on the St. Lawrence Ship channel, of the following dimensions:
Length, B.P., 165 feet inches; length O.A., 172 feet inches; breadth
moulded, 32 feet inches; depth moulded, 13 feet inches; draught, loaded,

a trimming tank forward. A fresh-water tank is fitted in the hold with a
capacity of 5 ton.s.
There are two holds with large hatches and a revolving steam crane with
a clam fitted between the hatches for handling coal, with a travelling shoot
on each side of the vessel for the rapid coaling of the dredges.
The crane is also arranged for lifting weights up to 6 tons, so that the
vessel can be used for buoy service in spring and fall if required.
The vessel was launched November 18, 1915; the engines and boilers put
on board, and will be completed read}' for service in May, 191G.
Nos. 64 to 67. — These constructions are four steel dumping scows of the
following dimensions: — Length O.A., 100 feet inches; breadth moulded,
29 feet inches; depth moulded, 10 feet 3 inches; capacity, 250 cubic yards.
They are fitted with hydraulic machinery similar to that fitted on the
other steel scows. The first three were launched in the fall of 1915; the last
one will be launched in the early summer, 1916.
During the winter the whole fleet of the ship channel has been overhauled
as to navigation lights and brought up to the latest regulations in every respect.
The question of life-saving appliances was also looked into. All life-buoys
and belts being tested, and replaced where found defective. The dimensions
of the small boats are being looked into at the time of writing this report.
In addition to other work, the making of steel buoys for the Chief Engineer's
department has been commenced during this year, and up to March 31, 1916,
the following have been practically completed: — Four automatic whistling
buoys, six bell buoy floats, 7 large gas and whistling buoys, one hundred steel •
spar buoys to replace wooden ones in use. These buoys were for various har-
bours on the Atlantic and Pacific coasts.
GENERAL.
Owing to war conditions, every economy possible was exercised in the
carrying out of the work in the shipyard. No expensive alterations or im-
provements were made to the machinery or buildings.
The painting throughout the yard was also delayed for one season. The
foundations of the office building and one or two others where necessary were
overhauled and put in good order.
The shipyard launches Margot, Buffalo, and Bronx were maintained in
good order and painted. The Margot has been employed by the Lights Depart-
ment all season, and has done very good work for them.
All the fences were repaired where necessary, and whitewashed during the
season.
The shipyard hauling-out ways were extensively repaired and otherwise
kept in good order.
The force employed during the fiscal year varied from 1,075 in September,
1915, to 650 in March, 1916. The daily average being about 850.
On March 2 last, the shipyard carpenter shop, a wooden structure about
220 feet by 35 feet, one story high, was destroyed by fire. The cause of the
fire is unknown. Work on the foundations for a new building was begun during
end of fiscal year.
The financial statement shows the total amount expended on the shipyard
and ship channel to have been $1,530,642.10.
I have the honour to be, sir,
Yout obedient servant,
W. S. JACKSON,
Superintendent of Shipyard,

ilETEOROLOOICAL REPORT 139
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
APPENDIX No. 6.
METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE
Toronto, May 25, 1916.
The Deputy Minister of Marine,
Ottawa, Ont.
Sir: — I have the honour to submit the forty-fifth Annual Report of the
Meteorological Service for the fiscal year ended March 31, 1916.
Meteorological returns have been received at the central oflice from 532
stations, including telegraph reporting stations and climatological stations, but
not including storm signal stations which are 112 in number.
For various duties in connection with the service 370 persons, chiefly
observers, have been in receipt of pay, and of this number thirty-four were
employed in the central office.
During the year the number of observing stations has increased in the
aggregate by forty-two; sixty-eight new stations having been opened, while
twenty-six were closed.
The closing of stations is always to be regretted, as the longer the record at
a place the more valuable it is. In the early days of the service nearly all
stations were established on a wholly voluntary basis, but as years passed it was
found that in order to obtain observers in outlying localities such as Hudson
bay posts in the north, and at places away from populous centres, it was necessary
to pay small stipends, and thus quite a number of stations ere long had an
annual allowance ranging between ,$18 and $100.
Subsequently, it was recognised that while at some places the same voluntary
observer continued observing through a long term of years, at the majority of
the stations, the work was of a desultory character, and the observing duties
were turned over from one to another and there were long breaks which vitiated
the value of the station's records.
With the advent of electrical power came a great demand from engineers
for information regarding the rainfall over water sheds of our southward flowing
rivers, and the information desired was the average value of the rainfall, the
average periodic variations, the secular change, and the average non-periodic
variability. Accurate information with these details cannot yet be fully
supplied.
Again, with the movement towards forest conservation and the establish-
ment of the great pulp industries came numerous applications for the same
information as the electrical engineer had asked for.
Then again, the Uovernment and Railway departments dealing with the
problems of irrigation in the western provinces, found the same information was
essential to the economic conduct of their work, and lastly Government com-
missions have found exact meteorological data necessary in connection with the
Waterways Treaty between Canada and the United States.
The Superintendent of Irrigation wrote me in March, 1915, as follows: —
"In connection with the division of the water of St. Mary and Milk
rivers between Canada and the United States, under the provisions of
article vi of the Waterways Treaty, this branch has for several years been
140
MARixE A\n fisheries;
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
collecting stream flow data on these two rivers and their tributaries in
Canada. Similar work has been carried on by the Geological Survey in
the state of Montana. It is a question, however, whether the measured
fiow is a true indication of the total volume of water falling on this water-
shed. Possibly a computation based upon precipitation records and
computed runoff in the different portions of the watershed might produce
a very different total volume of water to be divided between the two
countries."
"Will you be kind enough to let me know whether the records of
Canada and the United States will permit you to divide this watershed
into lielts or zones ami to state, more or less definitely, the amount of the
annual precipitation and runoff in each such zone. If this can be done
with a reasonable degree of accuracy, and if the number of years' obser^
vations upon which each statement is based can be given, the result may
be very useful in the preparation of the Canadian case."
In view of these various urgent demands for rainfall data, it became necessary
for the Meteorological Service, under which the Cliniatological Survey has been
placed, to take such action as would insure continuous observations of rainfall
at numerous stations well distrilnited over the Dominion.
It has then been well proved that to ensure continuous accurate obser-
vations, small salaries nuist be allowed to make it worth the while of the busy
man to attend with regularity to the work required of him. It has lieen this
consideration which has led to my asking for the establishment of numerous
rainfall stations with the small annual stipend of .$48 attached to each of them —
and our experience to the present time indicates bej'ond pcradventure, that the
system is a good one, and w'ill alone provide for a satisfactory network of homo-
geneous stations, and lessen the number which will be closed annually.
The following is a list of the new stations and the names of the observers: —

CENTKAL OFFICE.
Since my last report Mr. Basil Cody has resip:ned from the staff of the
central office and W. D. Allan, Lt.-Col., 2nd Battalion, C.E.F., is still on active
service, and there have been no new appointments.
FORECAST BRANCH.
As it happens, both the above named assistants were attached to the fore-
cast branch which is in consequence under-manned, and most of the work is
being done liy the director and assistant ilirector, who with one assistant take
equal turns of night duty. Of the daily forecasts issued during the year, 85.6
per cent were verified and of the storm warnings, 87.4. Forecasts and storm
warnings have also been issued with the same regularity for Newfoundland'as
for Canada, and with a marked degree of success, but no acknowledgment of
the work performed has been received from that country either of a financial
character or as a letter of thanks.
Fewer gales than frequently occur dtu'ing a like period were experienced in
Ontario, Quebec, and the Maritime Provinces tluring the season of navigation
in the fiscal year from April, 1915, to March 31, 1916, inclusive. There were,
however, several cpiite remarkable summer storms, the most notable being the
severe gales in the St. Lawrence vallej', on the 22nd of June and the 9th July,
142 - MARINE AyD FISHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
and the one in the lower lake region on the 3rd of August. There was also a violent
early autumn gale in the gulf of St. LawTcnce and the Maritime Provinces on
the 26th of September which caused several disastrous wrecks, besides much
other damage. November, as is usually the case, was responsible for many gales
on the Great Lakes, three out of the seven being fresh to heavy, whereas Febru-
ary and March were marked by a succession of heavy gales in the Maritime
Provinces.
The gale on the 22nd of June was not warned; the fresh gale in the maritime
provinces on the 28th of January was also missed, and a warning issued to the
lower lake region on the 20th of August in advance of a West India hurricane
which had caused great damage in the gulf of Mexico and the Gulf States was
not verified. The remains of the storm actually passed directly over lake
Ontario on the 21st but with so much diminished energy that strong winds
only prevailed, attended by heavy rains. With the few exceptions mentioned,
all the gales were predicted and in nearly every case in advance of the beginning
of the storm, the percentage of verification for the heavy gales being as high
as 90 per cent.
PUBLICATION BR.\NCH.
The results obtained from the returns received from the numerous
metcrological stations have been used in the preparation of the various regular
publications of the service, including the Annual Climatological Report, the
Monthly Weather Review, the Monthly Map and the Report of the Toronto
Observatory. In aildition to' these regular publications the service has issued
a booklet on the " Temperature and Precipitation of British Columbia" which
gives in detail the climatic features of that .province. Similar booklets for the
other provinces are to follow, and the whole will sulisequently be bound together
There has also been issued a small brochure on the "Climate of Canada."

PHYSICS BRANCH.
Upper Air. — Throughout 1915 the international lialloon work was com-
plete'y disorganized, but for 1916, as many of the nations are coutiiuiing the
work during the war, a list of international days has been arranged and is being -
followed in Canada. In 1915 one balloon a month was sent up, except in June,
when three were dispatched, the dates corresponding with those selected in
Britain.
The recoveries during the year were not good, and only 11 out of 16 have
been found up to the present. Previous to 1915, all meteorographs recovered

had usable records, but during the year two of those recovered had no records
on them, and another was spoiled. The following table gives the particulars of

The ascent of June 2, is very, interesting as showing the height to which
the southeasterly current extended: it is the third occasion on which a balloon
was found west of the starting point.
The results of all the ascents up to May, 1915, have been worked out in
ordinary and absolute units according to the request of the International Meteoro-
logical Committee, and published in a paper on Upper Air Investigation in
Canada, Part 1, M.S. 51
Part 2 of the Investigation will contain an account of the kite work and is
now in the press. A number of records of the pilot balloons sent up in the Arctic
have been received and from those worked out it is anticipated very valuable
information will be obtained in regard to the air currents in the Arctic.
Radiation. — The comparison of the Angstrom pyrheliometer with the
Callendar Sunshine Receiver has been completed, and the results obtained
suggest the possibility of designing a new form of sunshine receiver that will
eliminate some of the defects of the present form.
The Callendar sunshine receiver has been in operation throughout the year,
and whenever opportunity occurred the measurement of the amount of heat
received on a surface exposed perpendicular to the sun's rays has been measured
bj^ the Angstrom pyrhefiomete ■.
The results to date for both instruments have lieen reduced, and the mean
is given in the following table for each month.

Anemometer Comparison — The anemometer in use at Canadian stations
has never been compared with those in use in other countries: it is designed
144 MARINE A\D FIfiHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
on the assumption that the distance travelled hy the wind is three times the
distance travelled by the centre of the anemometer cups in the same time. This
factof has been found to be too high in other countries, and for the standard
anemometer at Kew, the factor 2-2 instead of 3 has been found to be correct.
The Dines pressure tube anemometer has been very carefully compared on
a whirlinfj machine and with the Kew standard; for this reason a pressure tube
anemometer was erected on the same tower as the Canadian cup anemometer
four years ago, and the records given by the two instruments have been com-
pared. The mean of all velocities gives the cup anemometer readings 1 • 357
time those of the pressure tube. If however, the factor 2-2 instead of 3 is
used, the cup anemometer and pressure tube would be practically indentical.
Electric Potential of the Air. — The self recording electrometer for measuring
the potential of the air has been in operation throughout the year, and the results
to date will be published shortly.
Evnpcyration. — Observations on evaporation have been made at the central
office for some years, and during the past two years the observations have been
continued during the winter by weighingt a pan of water or ice, and from the
loss in weight from day to day, the amount of evaporation has been calculated.
Owing to the increasing requests for evaporation data, it is proposed to extend
the ob.servations this year and establish evaporation stations at about seven
places in the Dominion.
Earth temperature. — Mr Patterson has designed a special commutator
for use with resistance thermometers by means of which it will be possible
to get continuous records of earth temperatures at various depths on one instru-
ment, and it is hoped to get it in.stalled during the year.
Barograph atid Thermograph. — The barograph and thermograph obtained
for recording the pressure and temperature on the top of Sulphur mountain
at Banff has been overhaided in the office, and they will now work about a month
without lequiring attention. Mr. Patterson has substituted a mercurial
barometer for the aneroid on the barograph and by means of a float arranged
to compensate for temperature changes, he has converted the barograph into
a compensated mercurial barograph recording at a distant station.
TERRESTRIAL MAGNETISM.
The photographic magnetic instruments have been kept in operation
throughout the year without any material loss of record. The value of the base
line for declination was determined from weekly observations with the absolute
declinometer The observations were usually made on Monday and comprise
four sets of eight pointings on the magnet taken in conjunction with eye readings
of the photographic instrument. For horizontal force the base Tne was deter-
mined twice a month as before. In the case of the vertical force, it was found
necessary to increase the number o absolute observations to four per week
in order to reduce the probable error to + 27.
The westerly declination has increased from 6° 27' -2 in March, 1915,
to 6° 32' -2 in March, 1916, an annual change of 5' -0. The horizontal force
has decreased during the same period from 0- 16039 dynes to 0- 15983, an annual
change ot 0- 00056 dynes, whilst the vertical force has decreased from 0-58673
dynes to 0-58553. This change in horizontal and vertical force is equivalent
to a change in the inclination from 74° 42' - 7 to 74° 43° • 9.
^Magnetic disturbances were of very frequent occurrence during the year,
the month of February, 1916, being the only month during which no large
disturbance was recorded. The greatest storm was on June 17, which was
remarkable both for its duration, the magnitude of the disturbing forces and
the rapidity with which the forces changed. The extreme values of declination
METEOROLOGICAL REPORT 145
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
during this storm were 5° 6-2 W. and 8° 21-7 W. The horizontal force ranged
from 0-5586 dynes to 0-16418 dynes and the vertical force from 0-58040
dynes to 0-59152 dynes.
Other disturbances worthy of note were recorded on August 25, October
15, and November 5 and 6 of 1915 and on March 17, 1916, but neither in ampli-
tude nor duration are any of these comparable to that of June 17, 1915.
The mean diurnal range obtained from the hourly measures varied in
declination from a maximum of 14' -4 in August, 1915, to a minimum of 6' -5
in December, 1915, in horizontal force from a maximum of 0- 00052 dynes
in August to a minimum of 0- 00028 dynes in December, and in vertical force
from a maximum of 0-00032 dynes in November, 1915, to a minimum of 0-00006
dynes in December, 1915, and February, 1916.
In November, at the recjuest of Dr. L. A. Bauer, Director of the Department
of Terrestrial Magnetism of the Carnegie Institution of Washington, Mr. Jackson
of the Observatory staff was sent to Washington in order to make a series of
comparisons between the Agincourt magnetic instruments and the International
magnetic standard as determined by Dr. Bauer. The results of these
comparisons are as follows: —
I. M.S. — Agincourt (Standard Declinometer) = -0'.93
I.M.S.— Agincourt (EHiott Magnetometer 98)= -^0. 00033 H
I.M.S.— Agincourt (Toepfer Inductor No. 89)= -0'.15
Commencing January, 1916, all Agincourt data will be reducM to inter-
national magnetic standard.
During the year 129 comparisons attached to surveyors' transits, were
adjusted and compared with the Agincourt standard declinometer, and the
index corrections resulting therefrom were supplied to the Surveyor General.
Assistance was given to Messrs. Purser, Wight and Robinson, of the Department
of the Interior, in standardizing their total force magnetic instruments both
before and after their field work.
Mr. French of the Dominion Observatory was also given assistance in
comparing his magnetometer with the Agincourt standards both before and after
his fi^d work.
TIME SERVICE.
During the year, fifty-nine determinations for time have l>een made by
transit of stars in the meridian with the 3-inch Troughton and Simms transit
instrument. Cloudiness during part of November and February prevented
frequent observations for time. The positions of the stars have been taken
mostly from the American Ephemeris and British Nautical Almanac.
The collimation error of the transit instrument, as in former years, has been
chiefly determined by reversal on Polaris and occasionally in conjunction with
that of the instrumental azimuth error as determined by star transits in reverse
position of the axis using the method of least squares in their computation.
Time has been given over the telegraph and telephone lines to all inquirers
as also the siderial time which has been frequently called for.
The performance of the clocks has been very satisfactory. The new
Magneta clock with its system of secondary clocks has been running a year
without a failure since installment. The automatic synchronizer by which
it is made to synchronize with the mean time master clock has also done the
same perfect work.
The pier of the transit clock still shows a slight progressive sinking towards
the East but is of small amount.
The time exchanges between Toronto and Quebec, Montreal and St. John,
N.B., have been made as usual, being recorded on the chronographs at Toronto,
21—10
146

7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
Montreal and St. John. The errors of the clocks have been computed from the
latest observations.
The usual 11.55 a.m. signal on the fire alarm system has been continued
throughout the year. Time has been given weekly to the magnetic observatory
at Agincourt and daily to the Canadian Northern Railway out of Toronto.
The following talsle will show the differences between the times at the several
observatories and that at Toronto. The sign + indicates slow of Toronto: —

SUN SPOTS, 1915-16.
During the year .April 1, 1915, to April 1, 1916, the sun's surface was
examined with the 6-inch equatorial telescope on 149 days, and maps showing
the relative positions of spots on 145 of those days were made. The N., S., E.,
and W. points were defined and also the sun's axis and equator. During the
progress of the solar eclipse of February 3, 1915, several good photographs were
secured as well as sketches. Owing to cloudiness the time of beginning and
ending of the eclipse could not be determined by observation.
On April 3 a large spot, followed by several medium sized and small spots,
extending easterly for a considerable distance, was observed in northeastern
quadrant of sun, disappearing over western limb on April 11. On the 20th
April a group of small penumbral spots with very small ones rather suddenly
developed in southeastern quadrant, disappearing over western limb on 26th.
Two scattered groups of small spots, equidistant north and south of equator,
traversed the sun's di.sk April 27 to May 8. No spots were seen on May 11,
15, 17, and 18. May 25 to June 2 a small northerly group with one medium
sized penumbral spot passed over the sun's disk. J'rom June 14 to 29 numerous
scattered groups, both north and south of equator, were observed. On July 6
a large group came over southeastern limb disappearing over southwestern
limb July 16. On 29th another very large group came over southeastern limb,
developing into a magnificent display of small penumbral spots followed by an
immense area of very small spots. This group presented a fine spectacle and
covered an enormous area extending in a northwesterly direction south of the

equator. After this display nothing of note occurred except the passage of
occasional small groups north and south of the equator until September 21,
when a small group about 10 degrees north of the equator traversed the sun's
surface going over the western limb on September 30. This condensed group
was remarkable for its very beautiful large penumbral spot.
Between October 4, 1915, and March 2, 1916, several not very prominent
groups appeared both north and south of the equator. Two moderately large
spots with attending smaller ones passed across the sun's disk, eciuidistant
north and south of the equator from March 2 to 13. A fairly-large sized group
was observed on March 23 and 25 north of the equator, but cloudiness prevented
continual observation of this group. At the end of the year March 31, the sun's
surface was occupied by four small groups north of the equator and a disturbed
area in southeast quadrant.
SEISMOLOGY.
The Milne seismographs at Toronto and Victoria have yielded some very
interesting records. A seismograph for registering the vertical component,
recording on smoked paper, has recently been installed at Victoria, and is work-
ing very satisfactorily. During the year the total number of disturbances
recorded at Toronto was 123. Of this number three were very large. Fourteen were
of a more moderate character, and the remainder show trace amplitude ranging
from 0-1 to 2 mm. Not only was the total number greater than that which we
usually record, but from May, there was a marked increase in the intensity of
the disturbances. The most important of the series occurred on September 7,
October 3, and January 1. The latter disturbance was one of the largest we ever
recorded at Toronto. The earthquake centres were located respectively in
Guatemala, Nevada and in the South Pacific, the latter being submarine;
possibly in the vicinity of the New Hebrides. The more moderate disturbances
were recorded on May 1, June 1, July 31, October 11, November 1, and 21,
December 12 and 31, January 13 and 19, Febriuiry 1, 6, 20 and 27. The majority
were of submarine origin, the earthquake centre being in the vicinity of the
Kurile islands, Alaska, and off the coast of Central America.
Seismologists at present are chiefly investigating the question of the true
velocity of earthquake waves through the various depths of the earth. The
present Milne instrument fails at times to register the P. and S. waves. The
British Association is desirious of introducing a perfect modification of the
present Milne instrument, by increasing the magnification of the record and
applying a certain amount of damping of the boom which will shew the pre-
liminary waves more distinctly and give a truer representation of the earth
movements. It is to be hoped that both our stations will be equipped with the
type of instrument which they adopt. It would also be advisable to introduce
at Toronto an instrument for registering on smoked paper, as very often the
press seek information regarding some earthquake that has just been reported,
and as it takes some time to cut off the film of the present Milne instrument
and develop it, it is some little time before the required information can be
furnished. Monthly tabulations of all seismic disturbances are forwarded to
the Central Seismological Observatory of the British Association and to various
other countries and an increased demand for copies of our observations from
scientific institutions all over the world point to the importance attached to
our records.
PHENOLOGICAL OBSERVATIONS.
The collection and tabulation of phenological statistics, which are in charge
of Mr. F. F. Payne, were not quite as extensive as in past years, but a few reports

giving the dates of flowering plants, the arrival of birds, the sowing and reaping
of grain, etc., were received from each province, and they agree very fairly with
the meteorological conditions. Valuable reports giving average dates of similar
phenomena recorded throughout the province of Nova Scotia were kindly sup-
plied as usual by the superintendent of education for that province, and others
from school teachers have also been supplied by the Department of Education
for Saskatchewan which is now using this as a means for nature study in the
schools.
OUTSIDE ST.\TIONS.
Appendices A, B, and C are the separate reports of the observatories at
the chief stations at Quebec, St. John, N.B., and Victoria. Others of the more
important stations where there is certain special work performed bej'ond the
daily duty of observing, are as follows: —
1. Vancouver. — At this station the observer, Mr. T. S. H. Shearmen, has
an office in the public building, where he rates chronometers for shipmasters,
fires the gun by means of an electrical contact and supervises the manifolding
and distribution of weather bulletins.
2. Banff. — In addition to the observing station in the village, observer
Sanson has charge of the observatory on Sulphur mountain and deserves much
credit for his unremitting energy in visiting the upper station.
3. Edmonton. — The chief observer and assistant observer are still away
on military service, and the work is being performed by IMrs. Owen, who, however,
does little beyond the mere observing. The full duties of this provincial chief
station are in abeyance until after the war.
4. Moosejaw. — The chief station in Saskatchewan is in regular working
order and within the past year the observer has occupied a suite of rooms in the
new Dominion building.
5. Port Arthur. — Observer Cooke now occupies a room in the new public
building where he answers inquiries regarding the weather and climate.
tj. Montreal. — At this observatory Prof. C. H. ^IcLeod, in addition to
superintending the meteorological observations at ]McGill University, directs
the operations of a well equipped time observatory from which the time signals
are given to the various railways and to shipping and many parts of Montreal.

In addition to the usual meteorological observations which were recorded
without interruption, special reports were furnished daily to the public through
the newspapers and otherwise, and the number of inquiries at this observatory
has increased considerably.

Statements and extracts from the records of the observatory were prepared
for engineers and other persons interested in industrial corporations, also for
the court in many cases.
The weather bulletin published by the Meteorological Service at Toronto
has been posted regularly at the pul^lic buildings, and inquiries by farmers and
tourists respecting the weather conditions and probabilities were very numerous
especially duiing the summer months.
Several barometers and thermometers were compared with our standards,
and readings of the meteorological instruments were furnished daily to several of
the militia quarters and forts in Quebec and surroundings.
The correct time was given to the shipping by means of the time-ball
during the navigation season, and by telephone to the watchmakers and to a
very large number of people in and outside the city, the noon gun having been
discontinued since the beginning of the war.
Owing to the ever increasing number of inquiries concerning the time, I
take the liberty of suggesting that some means of distribution throughout the
city be organized as exist elsewhere in centres of some importance.
The whole respectfully submitted. ,

Sir, — I have the honour to present the following report of this Observatory
for the fiscal j'ear ending 31st March, 1916.
METEOROLOGICAL SERVICE.
The tri-daily observations have been continued without interruption at
9 a.m., 3 p.m., and 9 p.m., Atlantic standard time. The first- and last-mentioned
are immediately telegraphed to the central office for use on the synoptic chart.
An additional reading is made at noon to accompany the daily report furnished
the evening newspapers. In addition to eye-readings of the various instruments,
hourly tabulations and monthly abstracts are made from the automatic records
of the barometric pressure, temperature, rainfall, humidity and direction and
velocity of the wind. Anemograph records from the Point Lepreau wind station
sent here weekly are tabulated for every hour and a monthly analysis made.
The data from this station give most useful information of outside conditions
in the bay of Fundy. During periods of abnormal, extreme, or stormy weather
the press is furnished with any special information which may be of value or
interest to their readers. Solar and terrestrial radiation thermometers have been
installed since my previous report and daily observations from these instruments
are taken.
The morning weather bulletin is now printed at the observatory on a rotary
duplicating machine which ensures a more prompt issue after receipt of the tele-
graphic message from Toronto, which is immediately telephoned from the
Western Union to the observatory office. The bulletin is distributed through the
150 MARINE AXD FISHERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
mail, posted in pulilic places and published by every evening newspaper. The
synopsis, giving movement of important changes throughout the continent, as
well as prevailing weather conditions at the diiterent adjacent stations, together
with the forecasts for following days is of utmost importance to mariners,
shippers of perishable goods and various other commercial and personal interests.
On receipt of the warning from Toronto, storm signals are displaj-ed from the
signal mast on Customs building here and the warning repeated by telephone
to the storm warning agents at Quaco lighthouse and Point Lepreau.
On the morning opening of the telephone offices throughout this province
the New Brunswick Telephone Company send your forecasts and have them
displaj'ed on forms supplied by the Meteorological Service. This most expansive
distribution is made gratuitously and the courtesy greatly appreciaied by
residents of the various localities. The forenoon forecast as heretofore is tele-
phoned the exchange at St. Martins.
The monthly returns received from all stations in the IMaritime Provinces
are checked and where necessary sums and mean values computed. After
abstracting the required statistical and climatological records the returns are
forwarded to the central office at Toronto. This has largely increased the data
which v,'e are frequently asked to promptly furnish shippers, commercial houses,
transportation companies, contractors and others, l)oth locally and from the
adjacent provinces. It has also caused a considerable increase in our clerical
work.
TIME SERVICE.
Observations for time with the transit telescope have been made as often
as practicable to determine the errors and rates of the standard sidereal clocks.
The Riefler sidereal which is used as the primary standard has given most
satisfactory results. This clock, as in the past, has been run under constant
temperature and pressure. So favorable are the conditions in the new clock-
room that the pressure inside the case has not been observed to vary more than
two millimeters during the past twelve months. The KuUberg sidereal has been
used as the observing clock, comparisions being made on the chronograph about
the middle of the group of stars observed. Comparison of the mean time trans-
mitting clock is also made on the chronograph and any small outstanding error
corrected by the apparatus formerly described.
The daily time signal has been regularly transmitted by telegraph to nearly
all parts of the maritime provinces and is the standard of time for this section
of the Dominion. As heretofore special signals are frequently transmitted,
both by telegraph and telephone to mariners, chronometer raters and others.
The time-balls at St. John and Halifax have been dropped each week day
at 1 p.m., standard time of the GOth meridian. The outside clocks connected
bj' wire with the observatory have been hourh^ synchronized throughout the
year. The various electrical appliances connected with our time service have
been maintained in good condition and are giving the best possible satisfaction.
The electric clock in Halifax is daily synchronized by our standard transmitting
clock, and return signals from Halifax indicate but slight error in the daily
rate of that clock.
The principal chronometer and watch adjusters in Halifax have sounders
on their premises connected by wire with the A\estern Union office there and
receive our 10 a.m. time signals daily. Some installations of electric clocks in
Halifax use this signal to automatically synchronize their master clocks. In
St. John the system of hourlj- synchronizing tower, street and office clocks,
continues to give most satisfactory and useful results. A special wire from the
ob.5ervatory to the local telephone office operates the various clock line relays.

The telephone company make a nominal charge for this wire service which is
well taken care of.
The new switch-board has been fitted, wired and connections made with

arrangements consequent upon removal to the new observatory building.
During the past season permanent walks have been laid, the ground seeded
and sodded, and the front wall completed. The spacious lawn is now in good
condition and gives a most desiraijie exposure for the outside instruments.

The Director, Meterological Service,
Toronto, Out.
Sir, — I have the honour to submit the following report upon this oliserva-
tory for the fiscal year ending March 31, 1916. During the past year the regular
tri-daily meteorological observations have been taken and weather forecasts
derivecl from the telegraphic reports received from the western portion of this
continent, have been issued daily except on Sundays and certain hohdays, both
morning and evening. These are published in the daily press both here and on
the lower mainland, and each morning at 9 o'clock over thirty special bulletins
are posted throughout this city and' others in Vancouver.
Storm warnings have been issued throughout the year; these are greatly
appreciated by mariners and particularly by towing companies and fishermen.
Several thousand telephone inquiries have been .answered respecting the
weather during the stormy months; some of these were from the builders of the
new government breakwater and ocean docks.
Apart from the regular weather forecasts, special forecasts were furnished
the Provincial Government Forestry Department during the summer months.
These have proved of even greater value to that department this year than last,
in the matter of warning the approach of great heat or hot dry winds in the inte-
rior of the province when forest fires are likely to occur and liring destruction
if not checked in time. This branch of our work was gratefully acknowledged
by a letter of thanks received at the close of the season from the above depart-
ment.
The weekly and monthly weather reports derived from all our British Colum-
bia telegraph stations are regularly published in the press of Vancouver island
and the lower mainland and copies are mailed to certain fruit growers in the
interior of the province.
The seismological instruments mentioned in last year's report, have proved
most satisfactory, and during this year 108 earthquakes have been recorded
here, while in many cases the records were so clear that the distances to their
points of origin could be measured, and also the vertical movement these earth-
waves caused locally.
The daily slow movements of both the Eagt-West and North-South hori-
zontal pendulums have been carefully measured, and interesting abnornuil
results have been obtained, which may have some practical bearing upon certain
ofher phenomena. The minute oscillations of the vertical seismograph called
152 MARIXE AXD FI If SERIES
7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
"niicroseisms" have not been so pronounced this year as during hist. These do
not occur when gales prevail here but some times when great storms are reported
on the west coast of Vancouver island.
THE TIME SERVICE.
Upon the 24th of May, 1915, the time ball which is installed upon the mast
rising above the roof of the highest city building near the harbour, was dropped
for the first time, and with only one or two failures due to faulty electric
connections, this service has been continuous, and has proved of great value not
only to shipping interests, but to the public, and for regulating' clocks, factory
whistles, ancl the military noon-gun.
The time for this service is obtained from star observations taken nearly
every clear evening by means of the transit telescope, which is well mounted in
a special room upon a massive concrete pier which rises from the solid rock. The
adjustments for collimation and azimuth have been carefully' made and a fine
fixed mark for checking these has been established on a government building
at a distance of two miles.
The level variations here are small even during the winter months, probably
due to local climatic conditions.
It is possible by means of these observations to keep the time accurate to
within one or two-ieurhs of a second.
The tiine-liall which is a distance from the observatoiy, atiout two miles,
is controlled l)y a telegraph key here, in the following manner: At 12.30 p.m.
each day (including Sundays) the C.P.R. Telegraph Co. connects our line with
the time-ball circuit: at 12.45 p.m. a signal of two taps given from here, notifies
the man in charge of the time-ball to hoist it to half-mast at 12.55 p.m., three
taps notifies the man to hoist the ball to top and to set the electric trigger. At
one-half second to the exact 1 p.m., I press the key here and the ball drops on
the true time. This operation is checked daily by watching the ball through a
telescope here.
I am pleased to state that all the mechanism in connection with the time-
ball was made locally under my supervision and has proved very satisfactory, and
particularly the electric trigger, and automatic brake which stops the descent
of the ball at the base of the mast. ^
The true time is also furnished to the Naval authorities when required.
Owing to the war, visitors are not admitted here, but a hearty welcome has
alwa^'s been accorded all our soldiers and their friends, and over 400 have visited
this institution.
During the past winter I have given a course of six illustrated lectures,
some bearing upon the work of this institution and under the auspices of tlie
Royal Astronomical Society. |t-*'*''»'<^
In conclusion, I would respectfully urge that, in order to make this institu-
tion more efficient, a good Sidereal clock and chronograph be added to our time
service, and that the delicate seismographs ordered in Europe before the war
be constructed here under my supervision.

R. F. Stupart, Esq., F.R.S.C,
Director of the Meteorological Service,
Toronto, Out.
Sir, — I beg to furnish, herewith, a report on the work of the agricultural
section for the fiscal year 1915-16.
In October, 191.5, my report to you (published in the Annual Report of the
Department of Marine for 1914-15, pages 353-6) showed that pi'eliminary studies
in 1914 crystallized into definite field experimentation. It appears that in this,
supplemented by laboratory investigations under controlled conditions, lies the
promise of solving the great problems of agricultural meteorology.
Forms on which to record detailed crop notes for spring wheat were mailed
to 14 Dominion experimental stations early in 1915. A copy of this form is
enclosed.
Commencing with March, 1915, charts were prepared, representing on one
sheet of squared paper the daily maximum, minimum and mean temperatures,
the 24-hour precipitation and the total number of hours of bright sunshine.
These charts make the weather figures "speak": they show almost at a glance
the meteorological conditions at each station for the whole crop season; and
they remove in a large degree the complexity of lengthy weather records.
The 14 stations were visited in July and August, 1915.
After harvest of the wheat, the forms were returned to the agricultural
section and the crop and weather data were correlated.- The average height of
the wheat every seven days was shown on the charts, and also periods of develop-
ment were shown, liounded by such plant activities as appearance above ground,
stooling, heading, lilossoming, milk stage and maturity.
In concise tables the crop notes were presented in such a form that the facts
from the different stations could be easily compared. Also an analysis of the
weather was made in tables for the periods of development, no particular emphasis
being placed on the calendar date but rather on the stage of plant development;
the meteorological conditions at the fourteen stations were thus readily com-
pared on one double page. From the charts and tables notes were prepared
on the "wheat and weather" for the entire season at each station. And it
should l)e feasible to publish through some suitable medium enough of the results
and methods to be of interest to agriculturists and to reveal the advance of the
work.
The use of all these analytical nrethods was made possible by adapting them
from translations of Russian publications, which have been setting forth the
results of field experimentation in agricultural meteorology in Russia for the past
fifteen years or more.
By a co-operative agreement with the office of experiment stations of the
United States, the translation of manj^ of the most valuable Russian publica-
tions has proceeded simultaneously at Washington and at Toronto. Copies of
all translations are exchanged. Also, Dr. T. K. Doherty, Canadian Commissioner
of the International Institute of Agriculture, has translated from the French
several articles by Prof. P. Broounoff, Chief of the Russian Bureau of Agri-
cultural Meteorology. Through the kindness of Dr. Doherty these articles,
together with the best of those in Russian, will likely become available to
Canadians in the Bulletin of Foreign Agricultural Intelligence published by the
Dominion Department of Agriculture. And these translated articles should serve
to educate and to awaken public interest.

The reference library of this section has grown steadily. Every effort is
made to keep in touch with what other workers are doing, and the current
publications in agricultural meteorology arc recorded on a classified card index.
This index has become a bibliography of recent progress in plant physiology,
ecology, investigation of plant diseases and of soils, etc., and has been of service
in giving to inquirers a list of the literature of that phase of agricultural
meteorology in tvhich they may be interested.
Inquiries by letter are increasing in frecjuency and correspondence is
.steadily growing. One branch of the latter is the writing of occasional letters
to co-workers in science and especially to experimenting botanists with a view
to co-operating in laboratory investigations on important farm plants.
It is proposed in 1916 to continue the experimental work of 1915. Observer's
forms and instructions have been forwarded to the same stations through
Dr. Shutt, Assistant Director of the Dominion Experimental Farms' system.
Acknowledgment is due to Dr. ,Shutt and to Dr. C. E. Saunders, Dominion
Cerealist, for their courteous assistance in the development of the field experi-
ments. - The writer is to spend the whole growing season of 1916 at the Central
Experimental Farm at Ottawa, in order to be in closest contact with the agri-
culture and biology of the subject.
At the proper time in the future it is hoped to present a plan for increasing
the equipment of instruments and perfecting the experimental methods until
approach is made to the remarkable organization of Russia in agricultural
meteorology.

SABLE ISLAND
Sable Island, February 25, 1916.
Agent, Marine and Fisheries,
Dartmouth, N.S.
Sir, — I beg to sulmiit to you my annual report for 1915, which is as follows: —
Boats on hand, similar to last season. Stock: horses 45, horn cattle 60, hogs 4.
People on Island 50, including 5 at the wireless station. Numlrer of times did
rounds, a.m. 79. p.m. 50, total 129.
Repairs to buildings at main station: shingled part of cow barn and new
doors to it; shingled part of wagon house; new doors to horse barn; shingled
and thoroughly repaired boat-house at No. 3 station; shingled roof and other
repairs to horse barn.
Crops, potatoes, almost a failure; other vegetables, good crops aliout the
average; ha.y exceedingly good, well above average.
Cattle killed, two weighing 1,100 pounds; pigs, four weighing 1,260 pounds.
Wrecks during the year, two, ss. Silvcrwings, of London, Eng., stranded
August 17, near West light, and became a total wreck. Her cargo consisted of
various war materials of which little or nothing was saved. She has since
disappeared from view. On the morning of September 10, the auxiliary barque
Lota of Norway ran ashore on the detached bar off east end of the island. The
fog was dense, and did not clear .sufficiently to sight her by the- patrolmen, or
from the stations, until the evening of the Uth, when a boat was dispatched as
soon as possible. At noon on the 12th the crew was landed at No. 4 station.
She, too, became a total wreck. Her cargo contained 7,000 or 8,000 barrels of
lubricating oil, of which the greater part was lost. Some 2,000 barrels landed
along the shore of the island, and we have hauled them up at various places
between the east and west ends of the island. The Lola has also disappeared
during the winter.
The crews of the two vessels, Silverwings, 25, and Lota, 19, 44 in all, were
safely landed and cared for until transported to Halifax by your orders.

Lawrence river in safety, sailed on the 27th December for the Gaspe coast with
freiglit and returned on the 4th January, 1916, when she was placed under the
direction of the superintending engineer of the St. Lawrence Ship Channel for
icebreaking ojierations. The ship was at Point Carce wharf the greater part of
January undergoing minor repairs, cleaning and jiainting. and left Quebec on
the 5th February to cut the ice on Beauport batture, and returned to Quebec.
She made several trips on succeeding daj'S to view ice conditions, started cutting
heavy ice at the Bridge and Beauport batture on the loth Februarj', and from
that date until the end of February was either watching ice conditions or cutting
ice at different parts of the river. On the 17th March, she again cleared the
ice at Beauport batture, sailed to Murray bay on the 23rd through closelj^ packed
ice, transferred passengers and coal to the Champlain, cleared track across the

HARBOUR COMMISSIONERS' REPORTS OF THREE RIVERS,
PICTOU, BELLEVILLE AND VANCOUVER.
The reports of the Harbour Commissioners of Montreal, Quebec and
Toronto, published in previous annual reports of the IMarine Department
have been omitted as they are published in pamphlet form by the commission-
ers for general distribution.
Report of Harbour Commissioners at Three Rivers.
Three Rivers, P.Q., Jan. 26, 1916.
Hon. J. D. Hazen,
Minister of Marine and Fisheries,
Ottawa.
Sir, — I have the honour to transmit the report of the operations of the
Harbour Commission of Three Rivers for the year 1915. This report does not
show the same prosperity as that for the year 1914, but it does not indicate
any laclv of equilibrium in the finances of the commission. In fact, the commis-
sioners have spent §28,746.50 for urgent repairs to their wharves without going
into debt, and at the same time that this work was executed during the crisis
caused by the war, they permitted a certain portion of the working class who
were begging work, to olitain it.
The depression in the traffic of the harbour is not surprising as it has been
the same throughout the country.
The requisitioning of a large number of vessels by the Imperial Govern-
ment for the requirements of the war, has made transportation vessels scarcer
and has naturally placed the freight rates out of reach.
To this should be added the accidents which happened in our harbour
to the government coal wharves. The spring freshets caused subterranean
currents to form which undermined the earth and several excavations from
20 to 25 feet deep under the wharves resulted.
This prevented the Dominion Coal Company from installing, in the right
time, its discharging plant for the unloading of vessels and this company was
unable to send a spring fleet to Three Rivers. For the same reason the Canadian
Pacific Company had to wait until the waters had receded to erect at these
wharves branch lines connecting with its principal railway line, ia order to
remove the coal and other merchandise from the wharves and ship the same
to its destination.
On this account an important part of the season of navigation was lost and
no less than one hundred thousand tons of coal, as well as other merchandise,
could not be unloaded at Three Rivers.
The Honouralile the Minister of Public Works was informed of these
accidents, — but as Parliament did not make any appropriation for that purpose,
the wharves remain as they were.
THREE RIVERS HARBOUR COMMISSIONERS 259
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
If, however, foreign imports and the shipment of coal suffered, it may be
said that the remainder of the traffic in general, and that with the United States,
was very active.
The exportation of sawed timber which was of little account at the begin-
ning of the season increased considerably after the seas became clear of German
sulnnarines.
The dredging of the channel l)y the Government in our river, between
our city and the Grand Trunk landing at Sainte-Angele-de-Laval, was a great
boon to our harbour, and has shown us that in the near future, if not in the course
of the present year, the Grand Trunk Company will carry on a ferry service
for the purpose of unloading its cars on our wharves and for taking the cars
of railway lines from the northern part of the river and carrying them over
to the southern part.
During the course of December last the Three Rivers Traction Co. inaugu-
rated a tramway service in our city which runs along our wharves and will
extend to the parishes situated on the river, to the great centres and to their
railway stations. It would not, therefore, be deceiving oneself, under the
circum.stances, to expect our port to derive advantages in this way.
On the other hand, the Pulp Company of Grand Mere has completed
a dam on the St. Maurice river, which was begun two years ago, and as this
dam will raise the level of the river by 30 feet it will insure the navigability of
• the river between the city and Grand Mere, for boats of a pretty large tonnage.
"The Minister of Roads, Mr. Tessier, who is the member for our city, is
now taking steps with his government to establish a macadamized road between
our city, Shawinigan and Grand Mere, which clearly indicates that the commerce
of the whole region of the St. Maurice is rapidly making its way towards the
port of Three Rivers.
In expectation of the above, which may soon happen, the commissioners,
during last season, went to great expense to place their wharves in perfect
working condition, and they urgently request that the government will not be
backward in haaving carried out next spring the repairs to the large wharves
at Moulin-a-Vent, in order that they may not remain useless during next season.
As early as the 29th April, 1914, the commissioners requested the govern-
ment to amend their charter to extend the limits of the harbour and arrange
to have the commissioners remunerated out of the revenues from the harbour,
in return for their duties, basing their action on the fact that no unpaid services
given to an important institution can yield as many advantages as if carried
on along the lines of business methods.
The commissioners beg to submit in connection with the above that it is
urgent that the changes to their charter be effected and they trust that the
Government will take the first opportunity of meeting their wishes.
I have the honour to be, sir,
Your obedient servant,
ALFRED DESILETS,
Secretary.

REPORT OF VANCOUVER HARBOUR COMMISSIONERS FOR THE
YEAR ENDING MARCH 31, 1916.
April 15, 1916.
The Hon. J. D. Hazen, K.C,
Minister of Marine and Fisheries,
Ottawa. 1
Sir, — In Compliance with section 36, chapter 54, 3-4 George V, the harbour
commissioners herewith respectfully submit a report for the year ending March
31, 1916, including a statement of all moneys received and disbursed.
During the year much time and effort have been devoted to the development
of an extensive scheme of railway and water terminal facilities, announced by
the commissioners in a former report.
The working out of such a project, if it is to be sufficiently comprehensive
to serve the harbour and city for years to come, involves many difficulties
that have to be overcome, revisions and adjustments that have to be made and
much tedious negotiation with the various interests affected. So far, however,
the attitude of corporations and parties interested has been that of approval,
very substantial progress has been made and it is expected that all necessary
n egotiations will have been completed and another section of practical work
entered upon in the course of the coming year.
The first unit of this project, namely, the reclamation of approximately
forty acres of the Granville street mud fiats will be completed, it is estimated,
in about two or three months. The main viaduct approach will be on the south
side of False creek but, for convenience, access also from Granville Street bridge
has, with the consent of the city, boen provided by means of a stairway.
Industries located on this area will have the advantage of trackage connecting
with the transcontinental railways and a channel 20 feet deep at low water
and 350 feet wide right from False creek to the sea. Thus by an expenditure
of about §300,000, what has been in past years an unsightly waste and a menace
to health in the centre of population will be made to assist in supplying Van-
couver's greatest need, namely, economical industrial sites. It should here be
mentioned that the plans of the commissioners provide for the application of
other suitaljly situated areas for the purpose of attracting and encouraging
industries.
Conspicuous features of the harbour now are the new government wharf
at the foot of Salisbury drive which was completed at the end of November,
and the new grain elevator.
The wharf — a handsome concrete structure affording 1,900 feet of berthage
space — is a welcome addition to the eciuipment of the harbour and only waits
the construction of sheds, for which tenders have been called, to make it ready
for commercial use, while the grain elevator which is virtually complete, with
storage capacity of 1,250,000 bushels, will, it is hoped, be of early service in
connection with the abnormal exportation of grain for the use of the allies of
Britain in the European war.
On the 14th June it was the privilege of the commissioners to have an
interview concerning harbour matters with the deputy minister and chief
engineer of the department during their visit to Vancouver and to accompany
them on a tour of the entire harbour on the following day. Situated as this
VANCOUVER HARBOUR COMMISSIONERS 265
SESSIONAL PAPER No. 21
harbour is, so far away from Ottawa, such opportunities of conferring witli
representatives of the department are of great assistance and it is a matter
of regret to the commissioners that circumstances prevent them being more
frecjuent.
From the Customs returns for the j-ear ending 31st March, 1916, the classi-
fication of shipping entered inwards and outwards at this port is as follows: —
Foreign going inwards 1481 vessels tonnage 1 ,86.3, 619
outwards 1312 " 1,566,220
Coastwise going inwards 7746 " 3,061,840
" outwards 8055 " 3, 451 , 5S7
In conclusion, the commissioners have pleasure in reporting that the various

7 GEORGE V, A. 1917
Montreal, December 29, 1915.
To the President anil Council
of the Montreal Board of Trade.
Gentlemen, — I have the honour to submit the annual report of the
business of the Port Warden's office, with the statement of the exports, receipts
and expenditure for the year 1915.
The river St. Lawrence was clear of ice, and the buoys being laid for navi-
gation to the sea on the 15th April, ten days earlier than last season.
On the 19th April, water was let into the Lachine canal and the river
steamers arrived, ready to resume the season's traffic.
The season of navigation opened by the departure of the schooners
Honorable Hector Langevin and Grace Darling for sea on the 20th April; these
vessels had wintered in the port.
The first cargo of wheat arrived from the west on the 22nd April, by the
steamer TV. H. Dwyer.
The first ocean steamer to arrive was the admiralty transport E. 18,
ss. Thespis; this vessel came in ballast from St. John, N.B., arriving here
30th April, having encountered very little ice in the gulf or river.
The ss. Jacona of the Thomson line of steamships was the first vessel to
enter the river St. Lawrence by the straits of Belle Isle, on the 4th July, the
straits were very little used this season, the reports of the Signal Service were
suppressed and no record was kept of the movement of the vessels by the
straits.
The continuance of the war has disorganized the shipping to this port,
the movements of the steamships of the lines becoming irregular and uncertain,
the Imperial Government commandeering the vessels as required.
The only accidents which have occurred this season between Quebec and
this port were the grounding of the ss. Harmatris, near cap La Roche owing to
the jamming of the steering gear, she was floated off at high water, and repaired
at Quet)ec; the stranding of the ss. Lady of Gaspe near Quebec bridge, and the
grounding of the ss. St. Cecilia at the lower part of the harl)our. She was
floated after lightering and proceeded.
Owing to the scarcity of vessels and the shortage of tonnage for the over-
seas trade, a number of lake vessels have been engaged in the overseas and
coastwise trade.
The water in the river has again been low, the lowest recorded being 28 feet,
8 inches on the 18th November.
The last oversea regular line steamship to sail hence was the ss. Torr Head.
which left port at 7 a.m. 29th November.
The gas buoys were lifted the same day.
The Canada Steamship Lines, Ltd., ss. Winona left port witli a full cargo
of grain for Sunderland, England, at 10.30 a.m. 3rd December.
On Saturday, 11th December, the lake steamship Port Dalltousic, with
cargo from lake port for Pictou, N.S., passed through the harbour direct for
sea; this was the last vessel outward for the season of navigation, 1915.
This has been a remarkably fine and open fall, there being no ice in the
harbour on the 10th December.
Four hundreil and eighty-nine foreign going steamships reported at this
office this season, with a tonnage of 1,662,686 tons, against 560 vessels of
2,063,517 tons last season a decrease of seventy-one vessels, 400,831 tons.
The business to the lower ports this season consisted of, entered 321 vessels
of all classes with a tonnage of 591,529 tons, against 362 vessels of all classes
with a tonnage 688,284 tons, a decrease of forty-one vessels and 96,755 tons.

assistance, but we accompanied her, to Quebec.
August 1-11. — Went to the assistance of the British steamer Bengore Head,
which steamer was beached on the north side of Hare island after Ijeing
in collision with the British steamer Batiacati. Found forward compart-

a manner that while the ship sank, she took a list outward and thereby
slid the bottom under the pontoon so that the pontoon was resting on
the ship's side and considerable damage was caused to the pontoon.
Owing to the extraordinary situation, the salvage operation was con-
ducted with the greatest difficulty, but we succeeded in raising the
steamer without any further damage to her or to the pontoon.
